Re: DO 51,52,53 PARTS FIT 54?

I don't believe the front windshield from a 51 will fit any cars after 51.
The front doors on a 51 will not fit 52 and later due to the different windshield. Rear doors should fit.
The hood on a 51 will fit forward to 54 but you need to drill the new holes/fill the holes if you are moving it to a later year or going back to a 51....Due to the letters that are installed across the 51 hood P A C K A R D.
the deck lid should be the same 51 to 54, I know the hinges for the 51 deck lid are different than the 53 ('cause I've got a 51 200, and a '53 Clipper). The rear bumpers will move forward but will be of a different style. Shouldn't be to hard to get a rear bumper setup. The front bumper set are not compatible to move forward. The turn signal setup and fender wrap around are missing on the 51 set.up Please be sure to confirm this information on the interchange manual, I'm trying to recall the dim past here. Hope this helps.
