Re: IML: '59 Crown, "Southhampton" Difference?

Vance

The name of S-hampton was an marketing name applied to 1956 Imperials that had no center post as the sedans. This is an "hard-top" styled vehicle. Others in other Chrysler Divisions used the same style of roof, but in Imperial speakie it was the Southampton.

Please look an see the different roof designs from the sites link .. http://imperialclub.org/Yr/1959/index.htm .

Subject: IML: '59 Crown, "Southhampton" Difference?

Back in the early '60s my parents bought a '59 Crown Imperial Coupe,
Black with white. It had the pushbutton trans, and the stainless
roof panels, possibly some other options. I'm trying to find out
more about these cars, and if a worn out coupe or convertible comes
along, I might have a hard time resisting the temptation to adopt
another orphan.

I am wondering just what a "Southampton" means. Was it a different
model, or a option package?

Thanks,
