DT83 ◊ 2009-09-08 20:07	Well it's not a LeBaron. I can tell you that. I think it's a Crown, as they seemed to be the most popular Imperials sales wise that year.

This one has the stainless steel roof inserts above the windows; I hoped that might be a clue but they were apparently offered on both series. The Crown has an extra little crown badge next to the Imperial script on the front fender, but that area can't be seen clearly enough in the provided images.
