Features 53 & 54 chevy photo thread

Thanks so much for your concern....If it's too off topic I'm sure he will delete it .

 

I posted my 54 several years back. It has 8 1/2 inch wide wheels is that within the rules? It might have to be deleted also.

 

Found a picture of my 53 when I started and what it looks like today

Pretty sure this one was a 4 door.

 

Having been a Chevy guy in my earlier years, (now Buick), I owned three great ones. A '54 Bel Air back in the early 60's, a '57 210 HT street/strip mid 60's, a '63 Impala SS the very early 70's. The '54, I traded a '51 moredoor on in Derby Kansas. A real cream puff in Toreador red, white top, powerglide, 235 of course. I spit the manifold for the most wicked pipes you have ever heard, (a real ticket getter in Whicita), and ran a vette (3) cab set up when I finished with it. Took it off to drive to home, (Seattle), stored it in our little closet we had in the basement of our appt. building and some
one stole it from me, (I hope he died a thousand deaths).

Sure wish I had that sweet thing to day.
Incidentally it seems like the 54's are all over the place today, everyone either has one or is building one. I often mention Jim my neighbor who helps me out. He builds and sells and his latest build in a '54 just like the one I mention here I had in color, that he is replacing all the running gear and chassis with '86 vette running gear. Promises to be quite a jewel when done. I saw the reworked chassis yesterday and it is top shelf.

 

My new ride.

 

What I started with.


Where we sit right now, 10 month build and on the road.

 

^^^^^^ That is one of my favorites ... was featured on "My Classic Car" with Dennis Gage at a show in Mucungie PA One of the best 2 door wagon conversions I've ever seen. Thanks for posting.

 

Just the right amount of chop, to make you wonder "is it?" Mild angle to the 'B' pillar. Doors replaced with longer 2 dr sedan doors.
