Can anyone help me out with this? I'm trying to identify my car. The ID plate says General Motors Canada Limited model CHEV NZ53 serial 2-1069-62531 There's nothing marked against the trim or paint. The car is a r/h drive and was imported to England from New Zealand back 2000 and something. I've been told it's a 52 but the NZ53 thing makes me think otherwise HELP
the car pictured in your avatar is definitely not a 53, the body was changed quite a bit that year, yours is the 52 and older style. 2-1069 is something I might expect to see on a 52 4 dr sedan cowl tag. US car would say STYLE 52-1069
On Canadian-built GM vehicles of that era, the first digit in the serial number is the year. Your car is a '52.
Thanks for your help guys, I found this on the web which kinda confirms what your telling me by the numbers on there, http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/models/1952models.htm . There's loads of info on there if your interested as to how your car was in a previous life.
