'54 Imperial windshield

["Bill Watson" <wwatson@xxxxxxxxx>]

You do not say which body style, but there were three windshields used by
DeSoto and Chrysler in 1953-54 :

W279 : (20"x60") : Used on all club coupes, 4-door sedans, and 4-door wagons

W280 : (22"x60") : Used on 8-passenger sedans and limousines

W281 : (22'x60") : Used on all 2-door hardtops and convertibles

The Imperials used the same bodies as the Windsors, New Yorkers,
Powermasters and FireDomes.   The extra length of the Imperial was in the
engine compartment (6") while the 6-passenger sedans had an additional 2" in
the B-pillar.
