Re: IML: curb weight of '68 Crown four door hardtop

[Tom H <tom_in_a2@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to _The Standard Catalog of Chrysler_, 2nd
Ed., 2000, p. 392, the "shipping weight" of the 4-door
hardtop 6-passenger Crown is 4,775.

I'm sure that's before you fill the gas tank, and
there are no butts in the ashtrays, etc.  Actually
that probably doesn't represent a fully-loaded
example.
