IML: 1960 Two Door Southampton w/No Other Designations

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Your '60 must be a Custom Two Door Southampton.

The Crown model says CROWN in gold letters over the signature on each 
front fender. There is also a gold crown mounted on each rear quarter 
close to the tail light I have seen some Crown models without these 
distinctions, but it was because the fenders were replaced, or the 
letters/ornaments removed and the holes filled.

There were no LeBaron Two Door Southamptons.

All 1960 Imperial Customs had the same upholstery pattern. If the 
original cloth was covered in crowns, w/ "leather grain" vinyl 
bolsters, the car is a Custom. That is unless someone bought the seats 
out of a Custom and put them in a different model. I've seen Customs 
with Crown interiors, LeBarons with Custom interiors, Crowns with 
Custom interiors, but they didn't come that way.

Other than the designations, the biggest difference between 1960 
Customs and Crowns is the interior, and also the list of standard 
equipment/options. LeBarons are well labeled, and easy to distinguish.

Thanks that clears that up. I must have been tired when I checked out 
the
link. You are right about the models. I have a 60 Imperial that has no 
badges
to speak of and only says Imperial on the front fender. Nothing to tell 
what
model other that it is a two door ht.
