What's wrong with this picture?

Well, let's start with the engine. Ford stopped installing flatheads in
their US cars at the end of the 1953 model year. It should be an OHV V-8,
Ford called it their "Y Block".

I didn't mean the question literally but now that you mention it - yeah - it
IS pretty big isn't it? I hadn't even noticed it. )

But my point was THE ENGINE IS WRONG FOR A '54.

Tsk, tsk, gentlemen, you need to expand your horizons beyond the limiting
borders of the United States. There are also cars in the rest of the world,
including your northern neighbour, Canada. :-)) But these similar-looking
vehicles are not always identical to the American models. While the
American Fords received their new ohv V8 in 1954, elsewhere in the world
production soldiered on for at least another year with the older flathead
V8. So, while on the outside and inside the Canadian Fords looked identical
to their American counterparts, they were fitted with the old V8. The same
was true of the 1954 Meteor, by the way. Canadian Mercury and Monarch cars
did receive their new ohv V8 in 1954.

Mad Max just steals pictures, but isn't nearly bright enough to
check them for validity before flooding them.

I was dimly aware of the Canadian variant but discounted that possibility
because of that front license plate - California 4DUU526.
