I am likely going to buy a 1960 imperial to restore. Bottom 6 inches of behind the rear wheel quarters are rusty. Is that area the same on 60 as 61-63?
 
Yup, the wheel lip and lower portion of the Imperial quarters were the same. It's the trim and tops that changed.
 
Mr. C is correct.... I've had 3 '60's! And another little tidbit.... the windshields will will fit 2 and 4 doors from 1957-1966, really! They are not interchangeable however with convertibles!
 
the earlier imps had a pronounced bubble effect at the top of the windshield, this was used on all the Imperials from 57-63 and 64-66 on the convertible models only.
the 64-66 imp windshield used on coupes and 4 doors had a flatter slope.
you can use the flatter top windshield on a 60 but it wont have the bubble effect.
my 64 convert had a flatter one until i replaced with a bubble one.
