Re: IML: Ranking of models and packages

Hola David

 

The answer is in the history of the Le Baron name.  If the car is an Packard, or whatever brand name,  the value is upper by enough to see why.  The 1961 owner of an new La Baron had to pay for the gold placed on the car, not so with the entry level Custom or the mid level Crown's ( find the gold  in the cars with an "L" or the "M" ).

 

In 1961 an want to be Imperial owner could drive over to the lot and have that Custom or Crown.  All Le Baron's were an special order only.  Find an Le Baron with out A/|C.  Then look at how many Custom's or Crown's that do not have the equiptment.

 

On an like note please look at the rear window of the 1961 Le Baron and compare it with Crown Imperial ( aka Lim-o ).  All Crown Imperial's ( the ones that were shipped from the plant to Ghia ) have the Le Baron package as an starting point.

 

There are some other points to look at, but I believe you are able to see the picture better now.

Subject: IML: Ranking of models and packages

Folks,

I've searched on the site and elsewhere for this info, and maybe I missed
it, but I don't quite understand  the rakings of models and/or packages in
the Imperial line. In the '61s for example, where does a LeBaron sit vs. a
Crown or Southampton?

Thanks,
