Jan, Yes, of course you are right. Mr Exner was at Chrysler way before the models that we are referring to in the post. This started as a string about which Imperials could use the new replacement center bearing support bracket described by a club member in our Website. You can probably go back through and see how it evolved. Interestingly, since this thread began I have glanced at the 1956 Shop Manual and realized that the support may also fit the '56 Imperial. I haven't ever had to replace mine, but I have had it apart. As I recall, it looks very much the same as the other years. Can anyone chime in on this and tell us for sure?
