Well that's what the caption in the article I took it from sez but I believe it's mistaken. Mopars did not go to a single piece windshield until the 1953 MY, and if this shot of an Imperial Crown Limo is correctly labeled Imperials were no exception.
 
I believe it's a '53 or '54, can't tell which but I think it looks great..

Nope, I didn't look at "properties" before I answered. Somewhere in the back of my mind I had the notion that Chrysler (and Imperial) went to the one-piece windshield in 1952 while Dodges and Plymouths had a two-piecer until '53.
 
However, having now researched the 'Net I have discovered the error of my ways. The Chryslers (and Imperials) didn't get a one piece until 1953, according to brochures of those automobiles. So the photo has to be one of a 1953. I agree with you. The windshield is the "big" styling difference.

Any other ideas on that one?
 
I really don't know it was posted in a thread on another forum and know one knew there either.

I dunno, the '53 IMO seems a whole order of magnitude sleeker and more commanding than the '52 which is kinda frumpy by comparison and has little to distinguish it from Plymouths of the same year.

That could be a Bentley Mk VI with a bespoke body of some sort (Mulliner or Gurney-Nutting?)
