    Taillights are different too. I prefer 53', but I'm about as biased as the plies in my tires...

    I'd be as happy as a pig in fresh mud with either.
    I grew up riding in the back seat of my grandparents 54 that was similar to the one in the second photo. Well, you know, it was green and not lowered and they took us grandkids on Sunday rides all the time but it was a great car for a kid to ride to the fishing spots in it's back seats.

    I am still looking for that deal around here. But that isn't seeming to pan out to well. They want a mint for them around here.

    I too, wanted a 54 but found a 53 cheap. I still prefer the 54 grille and styled bumper.

    I love them both, but I definately prefer the 54. I am still looking for a nice one around my area to make my daily, but no luck so far.

    I love both cars but have always gone the way of the 54, dont have a really good reason, just seemed to work it self out that way. there is a real nice one a town over from me that i am told the lady wants to build for her son. He is 6. Great intensions but i, and her father, dont ever see it happening. I stop by there when ever i am in the area just to say high. maybe i am wearing on her.

    I've got both and I love my 54! Maybe it's because it's in better shape but I also prefer the 54 style

    I like the 54 grill better, but both are on my "want list".
