Kinda hard to NOT believe ya, since Bonez posted it is a Special.

 

 

 

Looks like a Chevy Bel Aire, early 50s or late 40's

 

Probably a '53

 

Correct, 1953 Chevy 210 Deluxe, like my 1st car, but mine was a 2 door..Same colors tho..

Had 3 levels: 150
Then 210 Deluxe &
finally the Bel-Air.

That was too easy...

I almost bought a 53 a few years ago... It was rough, had a random 350/trans/rearend put in it. Body was solid though.

I decided to get guitar stuff instead. My wrenching days are pretty much over.

 

I REALLY want a 55-57 Chevy Stepside pickup. I had a 65 before but love the"Brow" headlights.
When I worked for the city there was an abandoned building with a 57? Apache in the fenced yard, I tried like hell to acquire it. The Aholes demolishing the building flattened it with a dozer. It was in great shape body wise ( I didnt care about the drive train since I had access to motors and trans ) just pissed me off they flattened it and I was willing to buy it.

 

Greybeard- Should have got the 53.. I put several V-8's in mine thru time. With open driveshaft & rear end outta a 57. I can remember just yanking the engine to paint it a different color & getting it back together for weekend cruising by the pizza shop.. (I wish I still had all that energy) LOL

Bonez- Shame they smashed that Apache. I almost bought a '57 Apache as well. But the $700. was a little steep for my very young pockets, at that time.

57 has single headlights & 1958 began quad headlights..

And I would love to find a sweet 55 Chev p/up Apache or a 3100. Trucks are so hot, pricing is crazy.
