This is a No Reserve Auction GOOD LUCK!!! please do not hesitate to call for more info/pics This was a Southern Car, which was stored indoors at all times, owned by my late uncle. The up keep and maintenance of the car was always top of the line, ready to drive, she needs work but no real rust ( very little surface rust under the car, I would have scuffed if and under coated the car but I want the car to seen so that it is known that nothing is being hidden, truely great shape)_, original body and floors in great shape a must see, chrome is all here but could use some TLC. This is a three speed manual, with the original engine and trans, paint looks great until you get right up on the car there are some minor scratches and chips in the paint, This is a bare car with very little extra done the interior was re done back in 85 and still looks brand new today. you could drive her how she is or give her a light restoration, the car is on RT 46 WEST in Dover NJ PLZ come down and see her for yourself, I hope she goes to a really good home their are very few survivors like this one GOOD LUCK RODNEY @ 908 499 7139 I have many more pictures and videos of the car In 1953 Chevrolet renamed its series and the Bel Air name was applied to the premium model range. Two lower series, the 150 and 210, also emerged. The 1953 Chevrolet was advertised as "Entirely new through and through," due to the restyled body panels, front and rear ends. However, essentially these Chevrolets had the same frame and mechanicals as the 1949-52 cars. The Bel Air series featured a wide chrome strip of molding from the rear fender bulge, to the rear bumper. The inside of this stripe was painted a coordinating color with the outside body color, and "Bel Air" scripts were added inside the strip. Lesser models had no model designation anywhere on the car, only having a Chevy crest on the hood and trunk. 1953 was the first year for a curved, one-piece windshield.[1][6] Bel Air interiors had a massive expanse of chrome across the lower part of the dashboard, along with a de luxe Bel Air steering wheel with full chrome horn ring. Carpeting and full wheel covers rounded out Bel Air standard equipment. For 1954, the Bel Air stayed essentially the same, except for a revised grille and taillights. During these years, there were two engine choices, depending on the transmission ordered. Both engines were "Blue Flame" inline six cylinder OHV engines, featuring hydraulic valve lifters and aluminum pistons. The 115 hp (86 kW) engine was standard on stick shift models, with solid lifters and splash plus pressure lubrication. Powerglide cars got a 125 hp (93 kW) version which had hydraulic lifters and full pressure lubrication. In 1953-54, Bel Airs could be ordered in convertible, hardtop coupe, 2- and 4-door sedans, and, for 1954, the Beauville station wagon which featured woodgrain trim around the side windows. Power steering was optional for 1953; 1954 added power brakes, power seat positioner and power front windows. 1954 cars with stick shift used the 1953 Powerglide engine. This car is listed locally for sale as well so I do reserve the right to end the auction of this car early Thank You for your time, Rodney
