Wow, nice car, video, thanks for sharing! BUT, this ain’t no 1953, it’s a 1954. The grill and taillights give up the truth! Nice clean layout for the car. I’m a 6 cylinder guy, but this is a neat layout and well planned.
I think you are right, a lot of things I like about this car but I would have stayed with a six, preferably the original six but if not an inline six anyway. You can make a whole lot of power out of a 292 I-6. I would like to see a new updated 6 with a slant design to move the fan offset to the side and a SOHC three valve design or a DOHC 4 valve per cylinder design. perhaps an aluminum block with the same type of deep skirts and the design GM uses on the LS Engines are far as HOLDING MAIN BEARINGS GOES.
Here's the ad: A very cool SoCal street rod! Also known as the 53/54, this 53 Chevy 210 Club Coupe was fitted with a custom 54 front clip and chrome trim to make it unique and then finished in PPG Vibrance Sour Apple and Vanilla paint. The interior options include a Glide seat covered with beautiful Saddle tan leather, tilt steering column, Dakota gauges, Vintage Air, Custom CD sound system, Nu-Relics power windows and high end German square weave carpeting throughout. The drive train consist of a very healthy hopped up 350 Crate motor with aluminum heads, all the polished goodies under the hood, 350 Turbo transmission with 2800 stall, Griffin Aluminum Radiator, Power rack and pinion steering, Hydro-boost power disc brakes, Ron Francis wiring, Ford 9 inch rear end with freeway gears, front air ride suspension for a killer stance rolling on polished Billet Specialties wheels! A Good Guys show winner for half the build cost!
But, it’s got a 1954 grille in it and a stinking v8, should have kept a I6. And it has 1954 taillights. I believe the title of this vlog is wrong, it should be a 1954 club coupe 210.
Very Nice “53”. Thanks for the Video.
If heavily modded cars are your cup of tea this one should fit the bill!

1954 it is.
No - it's a 53 with a 54 grill, bumpers and tail lights. There was never a 54 club coupe and all 54's had a wrap around rear window.
