RE: IML: 1960 arm rest

["Donn Reese" <DReese@xxxxxxxx>]

Christopher:
Thanks for looking for that - it's sad that a '60 owner can't find something in his own year's pages.  I hadn't paid much attention to the "Confidential Sales Facts".

Richard:
Thanks for sending that pic of a Custom front seat.  I need photos like that anyway to be able to rebuild the one I have - the newer bad upholstery and disintigrating original foam make for a misshapen seat currently.

I am equally surprised to find there was no front arm rest on the Custom (I knew there was a reason LeBarons are my favorites).  Somewhere else I was reading that 92.9% of 1960 Imperials had power windows.  I've never seen a 1960's era Imperial with crank windows, were are the other 7.1% without power windows?

Here is your answer (which, by the way, is no front armrest on a '60
Custom)...
