Re: IML: '62 2-door coupe on ebay with LeBaron roofline!

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Cool car, but to suit my tastes it desparately needs to at least have power windows retro-fitted. I would also prefer a Crown interior over the Custom style that it apparently came with originally.

Speaking of such drastic modifications, as I read the Imperial article in the newest Collectible Automobile, I noticed that they mentioned the "wing-shorn" '61s. Specifically they mentioned a dealer in Texas that modified those cars from new at the owner's/purchaser's request.
