However, those metal plates over the bumpers are a unique '54 feature and that is definitely not a '53 style hood ornament (although it doesn't look quite right for a '54 style either). -- Last edit: 2011-06-12 23:36:58

The side trim is 1951 to 1953 style and it carries a 1952-1954 senior series hood ornament. The car is a mongrel. Since it has no hood lettering but has the older windshield, I feel it should be listed as a 1952 200. While someone might substitute a grille, no one would change out the roof. It's even possible this is a 1952 300. Wish we had a better view of the rear area. Changing listing to 1952 200 for now. -- Last edit: 2018-05-16 15:05:51

The link shows the senior style rear window design. For some reason, a 1954 Clipper front has been grafted on. -- Last edit: 2018-05-16 22:42:52
