Did the 1952 Manhattan come standard with a trunk light?

My 52 Manhattan did not have a factory installed trunk light, like those in my 53 and 54 Kaisers. The first mention I found of "twin trunk lights" is with the 53 model cars and that's on page 277 of the Last Onslaught book.

If you check the KFOCI HANDBOOK information on 1952's you'll find that the trunk light was a dealer-installed option and 1953 was the first year of the light as standard equipment on the later Kaisers.
