Re: IML: K. T. Keller Era Musings...



Hi George -

I'm Jim Lorenzen and have just joined the group, and the timing seems perfect.

I too would like to be put on the waiting list for the brow emblems for the 1960 Imperial though it will be a while before I really need them.

Thanks

Jim

Those 54 Imperials must be Rare, I make Beautiful Lenses for them but have NEVER sold any. They were one of those stupid things I made and will never recoupe the money I spend on the moulds unfortunatly. So just in case there are a few of you out there with 54 Imperials that need Lenses drop me a line, regards George.

I realize that few members here have the 49-54 Imperials, but I would like to call to your attention a recent addition to the 1953 Imperials By Year section of our site. Elijah Scott recently added a chapter, in a Postwar Collectibles book that I provided, regarding Cardinal Cushman's '53 Limousine. Interesting reading, and note a couple of added features for the Cardinal. Also, the video of Roger Irland's '54 Custom Sedan is excellent, and I recommend it. Of course, go to the 1954 section here.

As a '53 Custom Sedan owner, I will admit to a little bias, but here is how I rate the '53 vs the rather similar '54.

Advantage '54:

1. The grille.

2. 235 HP (vs 180 for the '53).

3. Better chance of getting A/C (still slim, though).

4. You always got Powerflite.

Advantage '53

1. No chrome trim on the front fenders (cleaner look).

2. Wood trim around the interior doorhandles, vs engine turned look (both are nice).

3. Instrument panel; single pod for '49-'53, with all gauges. '54 has "idiot" lights for that year, and a different, less integrated design.

A wash on...

1. Extra chrome trim on lip of hood.

2. Clear rear window on '54 vs two bars on '53.

3. Bumper guards.

4. Taillight design.

I like 'em both, and think that Virgil Exner did a fine job of facelifting the basic '49 design. This gave him breathing room for the '55 Chrysler line.
