Drake,
Be sure to check out the 1960 dealer book
here:
There are some interesting color combinations to be
had in 1960. You may even be able to figure out the order codes for your
combination. But, your body code plate should help you figure out the original
colors on your car. It would be really cool if you can find the build sheet.
There's a chance you can find it in the springs of the front or rear
seats.
Gang,
Here's a couple of photos Drake shared with me of
his wonderful Crown sedan.

Subject: Re: IML: burnt orange 1960
I will do an archival search (With a little help from my friends-Beatles)
on the original two color sedan. See if these two colors were factory. The
interior is black and red seats. So perhaps the original color was black and
red or perhaps all black.
Drake,
any affiliation with the University of Texas at Austin? Burnt orange
is the official color of UT.
