Location: Grenoble - France		Pics for the future. Car was originally white (paint code X) with a blue top (223), blue interior (81) and dual headlights (349). Very nice car, despite it's not level, and few little things that could be easily fixed.

Ther's a curious emblem on the hood , i never seen "crown" spelled on it ! I've the original emblem of my car in a box and despite it's a Crown ther's only "Imperial" wroten. I think this emblem comes from a Crown Imperial (limo) and not an Imperial Crown ...

You might probably be 100% right, here is a pic of a 1957 Crown Imperial limousine by Ghia, where one can see the different emblem.

That's a pretty car with the large headlamps, black paint, and limo emblem!

Talk about being a mirror finish, you can see the backside of the emblems in the reflection!!

Very interesting note on the hood emblem. Must be from a limo. What a stunning car

They are just a bit Fordish, but I really like the look of the singles better than the doubles.
