My Moms '53 w/Pics

I finally found some pics of my Moms '53 These pics were on her 14th B-day. September 23, 1953

My Grandfather loved giving her neat cars and all the car dealers in Witchita Falls Texas were his buddies and associates. He was the banker.

He was quite a sport. He flew a Queen air back then. I learned how to water ski behind his Century Coronado at age 4.

That"s him leaning against the car. The other two gentleman were the dealership reps. They were trying to teach her how to work this high performance automobile. Love the Stetsons.

I wish I knew what happened to it. She traded it back to the dealer in 55 with very low mileage. Only Chevy dealer in town

She then got a pink/black 55 Chevy followed by a white 57 T-bird.

My sweet aunt also bought a '53 Chevy in '53. However it was a 210 2 door sedan. I still have it, a real time capsule with 54000 miles and exactly as produced. She drove it in 1955+/- from Crystal Spgs, Ms to LA, Ca for the openning of Disneyland-a ride I don't want to even think about.

Hi Michael,
Sitting in the car certainly must have given her reason to smile! She looks really pleased!
I don't know if I've ever seen a 53-54 with the top down, but the side windows in place!?
Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures.
Regards,
Alan
