Went with the 54 but very close call. Good point of view for comparison.😎👍

I prefer the tail end, grille and wheel arches of the '53.

I agree with Jack on this one. The 53 just looks better.

53 all the way.The 54 looks like the designers had to earn their keep so they started hanging a bunch of unrelated junk all over it.

Forever like the '53 better. The '54's strange cut-out rear wheel wells and the tacked on phony looking taillights just don't make it with me. That said, I'm waiting patiently for Automodello's three '54 releases to add to my collection along with my four '53's. Can't wait.

Both are nice but I'm going with the more refined '53 Skylark.
