The 1953 Chevy is a bulky car. It has the inline 6 with the speed manual. It runs and drives very well. the car needs work but picking up on its build quality I must say I am inpressed! The styling is OK, not alot of trim but has class. Not built for performance.

Pros: affordability, availability of parts, classic early 50's styling
Cons: not for performance, handling takes time to get used to

1951 Chevy Styleline Deluxe Coupe..... HELLO FACEBOOK.. add earlier cars!
I love my '51! It's the coupe, so the roofline is short and it has a 1956 265 V8...so it GOES! Otherwise... STOCK, mild custom with 74,000 original miles--sat in a garage for 25 years before I bought it. Ifn fact the story of HOW I bought it is kinda funny:
I went to one of those "Birthing" classes with my wife before our first son was born. I brought in a copy of the car trader paper... one thing led to another and next thing I know, there's a man hunt for ME. Yes, I was outside calling on this '51 chev., when a dozen pissed off pregnant ladies came out looking for me. Only one mattered.... My wife!
Hey, it all worked out. Within HOURS I was loading it on my trailer as my wife stood by so pregnant she looked like she'd POP!
And, YES... that is my oldest son sitting in the '51. He even drove it around the yard STANDING on my knees!

Pros: Vintage Styling
Cons: Toyota keeps buggin me... seems they can make 125 Prius's out of it!

This is a classsic Chevy truck. With the best looking lines of any year if you ask me. It has a straight six engine, 4 speed manual tranny that really only has 3 speeds because first gear is just a granny gear. Gets more looks than any vehicle on the road.

Pros: Classic style, versatile, fun!
Cons: 50 mph max. But who cares?
