Default 1953 crestline heder panel molding same as 54 ?

I need the header panel molding that goes above the grill and down the front of the front fenders but all i have been able to find is the 54 molding quite a drive so i would like to find out if the 54 molding will work on my 53 before i make the journey.
Thanks in advance

The PN INFO was removed from the 49/59 MPC and one would need an early 50'S BODY CATALOG to see if they are actually the same.

it will not work they are different in that the 53 is a two piece while the 54 is one piece the panel is also quite different.changing the panel and trim together will not work either as they differ quite a bit
