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.

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.
