The special roof treatment for the 74 Crown Coupes was reportedly done by ASC American Sunroof Corp., being THE address for sunroof and special convertible body developments it should become pretty safe to say this roof was also incorporated there for this special edition which makes it factory original. Not sure if ASC did the 75s as well, probably yes.

Yes, ASC did all of them. All of them were shipped to ASC with a bare top.

Now we know everything we need to know about 75 Imperials, except, how many were made in fawn

Sources like allpar say the vinyl top treatment. Not too specific info; maybe Mr. C knows something more.

Introduced on March 25, 1974, for the spring selling season, was a new “Crown-Coupe” package, sales code V4Y. This styling exercise featured the ever popular “opera windows” along with a heavily padded canopy roof. This roof was unusual in that it featured the forward portion padded vinyl, while the rear was metal a reversal of the trend, even popular now. With this roof option, the rear side quarter windows were stationary, and interior rear window switch panels were revised to only accommodate reading lamp switches. Rear interior quarter panels were reworked to accommodate the new opera windows. This $527.00 option gave the car more of an updated appearance, since the public seemed to fancy this idea of “opera windows.” The Crown-Coupe package was only available in one roof color and one body color. The body was “golden-fawn” while the roof was “gold.” The interior with this package was either to be gold cloth (ribbed velour) or gold leather. Some also may have been made with white/gold leather. This roof conversion was done by American Sun Roof Corporation’s specialty car division, who does so much special work for today’s manufacturers. The Imperial with this package actually came off the assembly line with no vinyl top at all, and was then sent over to A.S.C. for the conversion work. Only 57 of these Crown-Coupes for 1974 were made, according to a letter to the author. This was verified by A.S.C.

The “Crown-Coupe” package was still installed off the assembly line by A.S.C. as it was in 1974; however, color availability was now increased to eight offerings. They were as follows:
Silver Cloud Metallic Body with Silver Roof.
Dark Chestnut Metallic Body with Dark Chestnut Roof.
Golden Fawn Body with Gold Roof.
Inca Gold Metallic Body with Gold Roof.
Starlight Blue Metallic Body with Dark Blue Roof.
Deep Sherwood Metallic Body with Dark Green Roof.
Formal Black Body with Black Roof.
Spinnaker White Body with White Roof.


The last Imperial made was an all black 4-Door Hardtop and was manufactured on June 12th, 1975 at the Jefferson Avenue assembly plant. The car holds serial number YM43-T5C-182947 and was sold to a Chrysler Corporation employee who shall remain anonymous. The car is in good hands. Window sticker was $10,403.35.

Ok, then, how about the zillion variants on Gran Furys, Royal Monacos, and Chryslers that eventually were made with the opera window treatment up thru 78. They ALL went to ASC?
I think not. I think the St Regis type roof eventually was done on the regular production line.
Just speculating because that,s a lot of cars to be subbed out and then brough back.
