I have a 53 Crown 4 Dr, and it too has the crown emblems on the Hood,
Truck, and 3 of the hubcaps, I am in need of 1 hubcap. I don't know
the reason, or purpose of them, other than ornamentation.
Good luck on the sale of yours.

Greetings,
I have posted my 1953 Chrysler Custom Imperial 4-door for sale. It
is hard to let it go but I had my 3rd low back surgery this April and
have more work on the turnstyle so Orthopedically I really do not
havewhat it takes to own one of these. Metaphorically the car has
much meaning, my then fiance (now wife) was absolutely encouraging to me
to buy and enjoy the car-a very different paradigm than what I had
experienced in 19 years of previous marriage. I have even
contemplated that I could just park it andsit in it and enjoy the
esthetics but really these should be driven. The less than 500
miles I did drive sure brought me a lot of joy and a lot of head
turns. I always chuckle with the Fluid Drive shifting. I
posted it on the IML for sale site and on
E-bay item # 2487837573. Of course I would be partial to any IMLer
who may be interested. It would be nice to find it a good home
especially as it has such potential.
One question: I have no reason to believe that this was an after market
change. The car has the crown emblem on the front and back trunk
and on all wheel covers-Why? Was this just a marketing thing an
option at the dealer to make it a tad more "spiffy"?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Sincerely
Jerry Hesch
