Re: IML: 1952 Air Conditioner

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

Chrysler went to 12 volt negative ground in 1956. I have seen many '55 
Imperials with factory air, as well as add on A/C systems. I don't know 
if any modern systems will work, though. I haven't seen any new add on 
systems made for 6 volt positive ground.

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.
