Hi Peter.
A beautyful car with a powerful look.
My friend own a beautyful red 60 convertible.
I think these Birds still are pretty too low valued cars.
It's not possible to restore a bad corpse for that $$$$$.
Good luck.

I picked up a 1949 Mercury for my Dad and would really like to replace the front bumper guards and tie bar with a rechromed pair or NOS ones. The ones on it are very tired and peeling. May be interested in the front bumper if you have one as well. Need not be perfect some scuffs scratches etc. are fine. It's not a perfect car.
I think 1950 Might be the same. I know I can send them out for rechrome but that will take 6 weeks on average and I would like to get the car done up before I turn it over to him in the near future.
Hello.
Just a tiny note. The 49 and 50 bumpers are the same so also the guards. But the tie bars are different but will fit.

The "CROWN IMPERIAL" is the most expensive Chrysler line car with a 145" WB. An eight passenger or divider window limousine that has Ausco-Lambert 4 wheel disc brakes.
The Imperial is a different cheaper line.
Hello.
Yes, it's right and correct. All others was in the Custom serie with a shorter wheelbase. But even the Imperial Customs had all the beautyful crown emblems so because of that many think they also are Crowns. Note. The Crowns had 12 V but the Customs only 6 V.

No differences between Imperial and Crwon in 1953. I just lost out on a 53 Imperial 2 door hardtop full-on project. It was on ebay and ended at $486. I was so cheap I didn't even chase that but I did start all bids and hung in there until $481. They only made 853 or so of the 53 Imperial 2 door hardtops and the one I was bidding on had air conditioning.
This very rare and very poor $486 53 Chrysler Imperial Custom Newport finally did enter my place in Sweden. This corpse will be a real challenge. By the time I will do my very best. I will save it and not make any customizing tricks with it. But first I have to complete my 50 Mercury rag top. The car will get a good company with an other 53 Chrysler Imperial Custom Newport and a 54 Chrysler Imperial Custom Newport.
Long time ago this poor one was a CA car. Then it went to OR where it was in a very long storage inside a barn. Then sold to MI where it lost it's Hemi engine. Then sold on eBay for $486. I'm very happy for this rare giant and it's equipped with the Air Temp AC. Lars.

Right now I'm in a hurry.
Please, can you hold the "The CHRBP one is the same as that Imperial club picture." for me.
(The one with the reflex between the red tail light lens and the back up lens)
I think we can work out something.
Back tomorrow.

Hello Henry.
Just so you know it but I'm loceted in Sweden.
But no problems because I have several US friends who regulary send containers over to Sweden.
I'm in need of a passenger side tail light for my 54 Imperial Custom.
As the year 1954 is very different from others it's possible to take a look at some sample pictures.
Take a look at this one:

It's the more common 1954 Imperial Custom tail light.
(The round light on top of the fender must be added from a 1955)
About the 1954 Imperial Crown (Limo) they are a little bit different.

Note. The 54 Crown light have the small round reflex UNDER the back up lens.
The 54 Custom have the small round reflex ABOVE the back up lens.
Where in the US are you living?

Hello moparguy.
Do you still have any parts from the 54 Imperial?
I own a 54 and a 53. The 53 is missing some of the A/C parts.

Hello Henry.
Are both for the passenger side? Yes, the 54 Imperial Custom and the 54 Imperial Crown have different tail lights.
I have some 53-54 Chrysler books. I will try to figure out from your numbers.

Barney. Is the 54 Imperial still available?

Hi out there.
I just found this old comunication about the rare 53-54 Imperial Newports.
Today I have six 53 Imperial Newports in very different conditions. Two are in following ID number order and a third are also in Sweden but an other owner. xxx xx 15, xxx xx 16, xxx xx 17.
This model are very very rare and a very lyxury car. One of the best of that era I guess.
But the intrest are still pretty low and mostly they go for low $$$$.
A massproduced and simple 55 Chevy are far more expensive.
Lars.
