- The famous "Bullet-nose" was gone in 1952 and the new grille set the tone for only the years '52-'54. So it's often called a "transition model".

- A manual transmission with a column mounted shifter was optional.
- This series is produced at the South Bend plant in Indiana (USA) and at the Walkerville plant in Ontario (Canada).
