Let me guess, Dave; you were about to write this guy a ticket for parking on the sidewalk?

I bet you're right, Bob!!

Dave ticketed & towed it to the impound lot, where it sat for 55 years; finally went up for auction when he bought it, and later became 'Sheba'.

I pulled this from Gasoline Alley on FB, Larry Nichols put it up;

Peeky, peeky...

7253 must be the biggest pillow ever seen...

Just think how many people stuck in this traffic jam had manual transmissions, no power steering and no power brakes. No need to go to the gym you'd get a hell of a work out just driving home from work everyday.

The small window is correct for US 1953 Chev 'Club Coupe' and 'Business Coupe' models. They are rarely seen today.

What Dwain said. Go to The Old Car Manual Project and take a look at the 1953 Chevrolet full-line brochure. It's readily apparent. BP
