I was a HAMB member many years ago (probably '07-08). Well IM BACK! I purchased this '53 from a nice elderly lady in the S.F bay. I got some great advice from Jeff B. on facebook and excited to see he's very active here. He Has guided me in the details needed to swap a 302/c4 into My car. I'm now in the process of getting that sorted. Thanks Jeff!! I've seen my car posted here with the words "great deal" let me tell you, pictures do not do this car justice. Once I finish this swap I'm going to finish it off with a bunch of things I've been ac***ulating such as some 15" Supremes and lowering components.
Welcome back and congrats on the buy! Thats super nice 53! Looking forward to seeing more pics as you work on it.
Thanks for the warm welcoming.. I definitely plan to be very active here this time around. the sticky section is beyond awesome. I was able to get a answer to almost all my questions before I had to ask.
I’m still curious on what model/trim this car is. It was listed as a Customline. My very limited search online said it wasn’t. I’ve reached the point where I just refer to it as a ‘53 ford coupe
Check out the VIN Plate in the driver's door jam. Body code "72B" is for Customline Club Coupe and "72C" is for Mainline Business Coupe.
