Come to find out, the mysterious purple Crown is actually Lou’s car Maxine. See pictures in the album below this album. Hemming magazine did a wonderful article on his car but just messed up in taking the pictures or in printing the article. The end result was the car’s color of Deep Ruby appears to be purple.
