Man! When it came out, I thought the 53 coupe was just about the most
beautiful car EVER! And they still are.

I always thought about buying one when I got the money ... but by that time
(1966), the 57 Chevy was the thing and I fell in love with the classic
black BelAir 2 dr HT.

And I had ridden in an acquaintance's 57 Golden Hawk. FAST and strong..
but a rattle-trap POS when it came to fit and finish. Which is what REALLY
did Stude in, btw!
