I have gas cap application data going back to 1948 for most cars.
Unfortunately, the-55 up Imperial in any style is one of the few cars for
which the demand was so small that the aftermarket never tooled up to make
replacements. Considering this fact, I'd be amazed if anyone listed a cap to
fit the 55 Crown Limo - I think you are going to have to just inspect the
caps for other cars and try to find or adapt one to fit. If you have access
to a parts book, you might find a part number that would interchange with
some other car, or find a vendor with a stash of parts that might have one.

> What other caps might fit my 1955 Crown Limo??? I think that it should be
the same as other '55 Imperials, as the filler is under the Sparrow
Strainer, But the cap from my 1956 Crown Limo will not fit. The inside
dimension of the filler neck is 1&3/8" and the outside dimension is 1&3/4"
and the total outer size of the cap can't be much bigger than 2&1/4" also
the lock notches are on the inside. Would there be one that might fit from
another make that I could use until I can find the "real" thing?...There is
a cap on eBay for a DeSoto'57-'59 it looks about right in the
photo...George..'with the soon to be beautiful '55&'56 Limo's'
