The Transformation of My 1952 Chrysler Imperial: From a Project Car to a Dream Ride

🚗After 4 years of ownership, I finally transformed my 1952 Chrysler Imperial into a fully functional and leak-free dream ride.

🔧With the help of Gearstar Transmissions, we installed a brand new 4l60 transmission, replacing the old one that was leaking oil all over the road.

🔄We had to pull out the old drivetrain and install the new transmission onto the old engine, making several adjustments along the way.

⚙️We made various modernizing modifications, including replacing the oil filter and installing a modern fuel pump.

💪The project is now 65-70% complete, with only a few more tasks remaining to finish the transformation.
