Tis nice! I know you all will pick it apart for wrong bumper guards, etc. Note in the specs., they say it has an 8 cylinder engine. I wonder if they've even lifted the hood. No pics of that. Could you buy it, then find it has a 6 cylinder, and demand a deep discount[?][}][}][}] And it somehow transformed from a '64 to a '54.[:0] "This car's 10 years older than you said it was!"[:0][:0][:0] These guys are professionals?[)][)]
[I would only consider this 'cause I really want it.]

That car looks excellent from what I can see in the few pix I looked at. Some stuff not stock other than the engine unknown though:
- Red wheels. I think they are supposed to be black to match the body
- No gold in the wheel cover centers
- I think the back up lamp housings are sedan units, they are pointing up a bit since a sedan has a steeper decklid.
- The tail lamps as mentioned. I seem to recall that early '54 champions used '53 lamps but thought that only applied to C's and not K's like this one?
The pictures stopped loading after the first few for me (dial up) so if there are any of the interior I can't comment...

What I can see is beautiful, but you would expect to see under the hood for that kind of starting bid.

Does have sedan back-up lights![:0] Good for illuminating the trees. Pretty paint does not a good car make.
I would want to go over this one with a fine tooth comb and magnet before pledging that kind of money. '54 DIDBrad Johnson,

Wow! What a car. Sure, there are a lot of little details to attend to that would probably cost a significant amount of money, but I sure wouldn't kick it outta my driveway for leaking oil. In fact, if this car were a Commander, I'd probably trade my little sister in on it [8D]. LH

Sort of legitimizes the $ I'm spending on my 55 Commander K. Mine's not a speedster, but the black on red seems to be most attractive. I feel better now about keeping it all stock. Hope thy get their $ for the '54.Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)
