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
without these distinctions, but it was because the fenders were
replaced, or the letters/ornaments removed and the holes filled.
There were no LeBaron Two Door Southamptons.
All 1960 Imperial Customs had the same upholstery pattern. If the
original cloth was covered in crowns, w/ "leather grain" vinyl
bolsters, the car is a Custom. That is unless someone bought the
seats out of a Custom and put them in a different model. I've seen
Customs with Crown interiors, LeBarons with Custom interiors,
Crowns with Custom interiors, but they didn't come that way.
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.

Thanks that clears that up. I must have been tired when I checked
out the
link. You are right about the models. I have a 60 Imperial that
has no badges
to speak of and only says Imperial on the front fender. Nothing to
tell what
model other that it is a two door ht.
