Well, kinda sorta.  ;o)
  
  The last year for a Crown as a model was 1970.  All 1971-1975 Imperials, even the two doors, were indeed LeBarons.
  
  In mid year 1974, a "Crown Coupe" Silver Anniversary option package was offered: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1974/crowncoupe/
  
  Only 57 Imperial LeBaron Crown Coupes were produced in 1974.  1,641 were made in 1975.
  
  So all of the '74 and '75 Imperials were LeBarons, but a few were LeBaron
 Crown Coupes.
  
  Can't you just see the DMV clerk glazing over as you try to explain this?
  
  Thanks,
