jonathan23 ◊ 2009-11-20 15:45	The grille and front fender chrome spear are definitely '54. The centre spinner of the '53 was a simple "bullet" style and the front parking lights were simple rectangles below the centre crossmember.
Commander 57 ◊ 2009-11-20 20:17	Yes. I would say a '54 with a '53 RR door.
DynaMike ◊ 2009-11-20 20:40	Since the roof has the same light colour as the rear of the car I'm sure this is a 1953 with a 1954 front and door.
