DeMatt sent some new Imperial data and color and trim books to be scanned and posted on HH (Thank you!)
While reviewing the 69 Color and Trim book I noticed something that was reinforced by the data book. (Page 34 of data below)
Both the data and color and trim 'early books' (typically released before the models were actually introduced to the public meaning they were compiled, printed and shipped in late summer) make no reference to a Crown 2 or 4 door hardtop.
Both books show a revision of information in October that reference the Crown 2 and 4 door hardtop.
There are often mistakes in the books and updates are issued through the year as mistakes are found, new models, features, colors or trims are introduced.
My question: Was the Crown 2 and 4 door hardtop available at the beginning of the year when the models were released meaning the early books omitted references to the model and have mistakes OR was the Crown 2 and 4 door hardtop model added to the line up AFTER the early books were printed meaning the books required the October revision?
