Re: IML: What´s the difference (1956 Imperial & Crown)

["Bill Watson" <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

The C-70 is the long-wheelbase Crown Imperial 8-passenger sedan and
limousine.    The C-73 is for the Custom Imperial, which came as 6-passenger
models in 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop and 4-door hardtop.  Which is what
the site you mention lists the models.

If Tim has a 6-passenger model on the 133½" wheelbase, he has a Custom
Imperial.  If he has an 8-passenger model on the 149½" wheelbase, he has a
Crown Imperial.

The C-70 model designation was also used for the 1955 Crown Imperial.

Tim:

If you look on the IML site, and you click on production figures for 1956,
you will find that the difference between the C-70 and the C-73 is that C-70
refers to the Crown sedan four door, and the C-73 refers to all of the HDTP
versions.  So, is yours a sedan Crown (C-70), or a hardtop of any name
(C-73)?
