Re: IML: 1960 Two Door Southampton w/No Other Designations

["Tom Scott" <shelbyguy@xxxxxxx>]

Paul,
My 60 Crown has the CROWN lettering below the Imperial script and the Crown 
emblem above the script.  There is no crown on the tail light pods.  I 
recently had this car down to bare metal and the only holes in the front 
fenders are where I just described.  There is no evidence of there ever 
being a hole for the crown emblem in the rear tail light pods and no 
evidence the car ever had any body work.
It is a '92' VIN car so I am sure it's a Crown.
One of life's little mysteries I guess.  Anyone ever seen another one with 
the emblems in these locations?
Tom
