Don’t see these much anymore

Actually the panel fit looks better than a real 53. I think the price is low because it's an automatic. Do you know what chassis that is built on?

I’ve seen 2 others in the last few years. I believe the last one I saw said a company was building them. Might be custom frame or maybe original if they were building them in the 80’s.

Is this

add for the '53 reproduction shown above, or something different? Fallbrook is less than 400 miles from me - might be worth taking a look.
