   Victor,
      The 54 is indeed a good year, if not the most sought after.  
There is much information on this site about starting a engine that has 
been dormant.
      I recently got one running that had set for maybe as long as a 
decade.  These are very stout engines, and the transmission is very 
simple and reliable.
      Change transmission fluid and oil and filter before starting.  
Filters are available on special order from Advance, and other auto 
stores.  You mention
      the condition of the chrome, and this year seems to suffer from 
low quality "Korean War"  trim.  There is a wealth of information on the 
correct interior
      design and production details in the 54 section of the Imperial 
by year part of the website.  I hope you enjoy your example of well 
engineered, very
      sturdily built early 50's car.  Oh yes, if you haven't already, 
buy it!
