Exterior
One of four blues and 16 colors total, this car was bathed in Tunis Blue, shades of which can be seen but the entire exterior is faded, weathered, and topped with surface rust. Throw some clear on it and call it day as this is the kind of patina shops are trying to replicate. Trim is loose in places but it's all there, including the eight louvers on each side. More corrosive rust is also present in spots and of course, metalwork and chrome is either pitted or rusty or both.

Interior
The leather door panels are coming apart but it's still wild to see electric window switches in a 1953 even as cranks are present for the vent windows. The big bench seat in front is completely torn apart with its cotton stuffing fully exposed. The rear bench is not much better and the package shelf has holes. Heavy patina and weathering shows up on the dashboard even as all knobs, levers, and bezels are in place. The large trunk is full of parts and dirty.

Drivetrain
The car has a 331ci V8 that was originally rated at 210 horsepower and topped with a 4-barrel carburetor. A Twin Drive 2-speed automatic sends power to the rear axle with 3.07 gears.

Undercarriage
A single exhaust flows through a stock style muffler. Coil spring suspension is found up front and the rear is fitted with leaf springs, Drum brakes occupy all four wheels.

Drive-Ability
