1953, you are 25 years old and you just came into some money and decided to buy a new car for your everyday uses, what would be your top three choices in the order of the most desired.
Only one choice for me, the '53 Starliner coupe. Now that's a car I could wash and wax every week and then sit back and just take in the beautifully styled body and just go what the heck was everybody else thinking in 1953. Studebaker hit a home run IMO. 👍
The first car I remember riding in is our 53 Ford. Here is a photo of it hooked up to the trailer that Dad built. My first choice is a Ford Crestline, second would be a Mercury, For fun. a MG. If anyone is wondering, Dad got the continental wheel out of the Sears catalog and installed it.
Given the apparent popularity of the '53 Mercury Monterey HT and '53 Ford Victoria HT, maybe Sergio might see a business case for doing these cars as Goldvarg Models. Here's hoping!
