    I'm looking to put disc brakes on my 1952 Chrysler Imperial. I know the Imperials are different from other Chryslers so and I haven't found anyone who makes a kit for these. Any ideas or has anyone else done this and if so how?

    When I seen the title I was going to respond with good luck if finding parts for the optional disc brakes they had back then,yes disc brakes were optional as my 50 shop manual has a section on them but they are nothing like the disc brakes we all know and have today.

    My dad worked with someone who had a 50 Town and country that had those disc brakes but had to replace them with regular brakes and that was in the early 60s due to parts for them being hard to find or no longer available,I found a 52 or 53 crown Imperial limo in a junkyard that had them and was thinking about getting them and seeing what I could do with them but passed.
