Re: IML: Speaking of Strange Holes in 1960 Imperials????

I know that the hole is there, but I don't know if it lines up with the tank sending unit. Someone else has suggested that it doesn't. I won't know until the spring when I dig into it again.

Thanks Paul,
I hope you will find out that the access hole is there and that it alllows to change the sender unit without dropping the tank.

Hi Paul,
I haven't looked at my 1960 yet, but as it also has this big 3 inch

Would it be possible then to replace the tank sending unit without

Thanks,

It is a '92' VIN car so I am sure it's a Crown.

Your '60 must be a Custom Two Door Southampton.
The Crown model says CROWN in gold letters over the signature on
each front fender. There is also a gold crown mounted on each rear >> quarter close to the tail light I have seen some Crown models >>

There were no LeBaron Two Door Southamptons.

All 1960 Imperial Customs had the same upholstery pattern. If the

Other than the designations, the biggest difference between 1960
Customs and Crowns is the interior, and also the list of standard >> equipment/options. LeBarons are well labeled, and easy to >> 
distinguish.
