Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is proud to present this meticulously restored 1953
Chevrolet Business Coupe, a stunning example of classic American
design blended with thoughtful modern upgrades. This Business
Coupe, distinct from the Sport Coupe due to its rear platform
instead of a back seat, is a true gem, showcasing both originality
and custom enhancements.
Under the hood lies a rebuilt engine, upgraded with a performance
cam, slightly bored cylinders, new pistons, and rings. The dual
carburetors provide enhanced power, and the new clutch ensures
smooth operation. The radiator has been rebuilt, complete with new
hoses, and the car has been converted to a key-start ignition
system for modern convenience. Power steering has been added, and
the braking system now includes front disc brakes with a booster
and rear drums for improved stopping power.
The exterior of this coupe is finished in an elegant, very dark
blue (often mistaken for black) that gleams with its recent
repaint. The hood and trunk have been tastefully dechromed, while
additional chrome teeth in the grille add a bold touch. Other
exterior updates include new 1954 taillights, a set of five new
tires, and a brand-new spare mounted on a fully restored bumper
jack.
The interior is a testament to craftsmanship and style. Completely
reupholstered, the seats feature blue leather designed to
complement the car's exterior, while the new headliner, carpeting
(including the trunk), and painted dash and window sills complete
the refreshed cabin. Modern touches include a contemporary AM/FM
radio with a CD player, a new electric motor for the windshield
wipers, and seat belts installed for the front seats.
This restoration also features new floor sheet metal from the
firewall to the rear bumper, ensuring structural integrity
throughout. Additional updates include a new gas tank, tinted rear
glass, and rewiring of all lights. The steering wheel has been
modernized, and the shifter has been relocated from the steering
column to the floor for added ease of use.
Nearly $30,000 has been invested into this meticulous restoration,
ensuring every detail has been addressed with care and precision.
This 1953 Chevrolet Business Coupe is ready for show or the
road.
