I am going to Air Condition my 1952 Imperial. I do not wish to change the
electrical system from 6 volt + ground to 12 volt for many reasons. Has
anyone ever heard of, or considered, putting an AC system from a another 6
volt year, such as a "53 or "54 Airtemp, in a "52 or earlier? I do not
know
when Chrysler went to 12 volt.

I would add that they made 21,000 custom Imperials in "52 and'53. They
made
about 320 of the 1953 Crown shown. The interior is upgraded in the Crown,
wood, etc. I have a '52 Custom and I believe the body style and interior
is
exactly the same in 1953 and 1954. I had two '54's, one with grey
broadcloth
and the other with red and white leather. The notable differences are the
W.P. Chrysler "diving eagle" hood ornament in 1953 and '54, and the front
grille and 235 horsepower upgrade in 1954. I wish, though, they had
offered
AC in '52. It's hot in S. Florida.

In 1953, Imperial seemed to start taking Cadillac
seriously. Compared to 1952 the 53 model appears
longer, sleeker, and more luxurious. The interior is
vastly upgraded, too. Additionally, in later 1953,
Powerflite automation transmission was introduced
replacing the old Klunk-O-Matic. The industry's best
A/C system was introduced about the same time. The
Ebay '53 has both features, making it as highly
desireable as a '53 can be. Plus, it is a pristine
car. It definitely gets my vote.

Hey everyone,
I was on ebay and seen the 52 Imperial and the 53
Imperial. Why is the 53 so much and the 52 with
10,000 original miles, original everything not
bidding as well. There are no hits on the 52. Is it
because everyone is bidding on the 53 and when they
dont get it they will go to the 52?
Thanks
