1952 Plymouth Cranbrook Convertible has a new front clip, with a more modern, fast-looking sloping hood and grille. The hood sloped, and the sailing ship hood ornament was pushed back onto the top of the hood, with speed waves added. The Plymouth shield was restyled for the year, too. Name badges were on the front fenders. Carried forward were two elements that competitors had dropped: windshields made of two flat panes of glass and bolt-on rear fenders. A newly updated instrument panel put all the gauges into one group; a light, artificial finish replaced woodgrain. A clock could replace the Plymouth medallion to the right of the radio. Turn signals moved onto the steering wheel, moving ignition to the right; emergency brake T-handle. Electric wipers standard on Plymouths. Cranbrook interior Broadcloth became standard on some models, with others coming in vinyl. All of the 1952 Plymouths had a 217 cid flathead six, three-speed manual transmission, Hotchkiss rear. Engines used Oilite fuel tank filters, electric automatic chokes. The basic design of the car was conventional; the welded steel body sat on an arc-welded frame with double-channel box-section side rails and five crossmembers, with the convertible having an X-member design. The floor pan was channeled and ribbed, and box-section reinforcements were provided around window and door openings. A baked enamel finish completes the package. The suspension used springs, similar to the Ford and General Motors vehicles of the time, while the rear sat on leaf-springs.
