The Custom Imperial six-passenger limousine had, as standard equipment, electric windows; electric division window; floor level courtesy lamps; rear compartment heater; fold-up footrests; seatback mounted clock and special, luxury cloth or leather interior trims.
The eagle hood ornament was about the only thing new on the 1953 Crown Imperials. The nameplate was changed slightly and the limousine featured moldings on top of rear fenders. It had a 12-volt electrical system (the Custom had a six-volt system). Power steering was standard and so was Powerflite fully-automatic transmission.
Crown Imperials had the serial numbers C-597816001 to 7816162. The engine codes were the same as the Custom.
