Adios,

Thanks for the quick reply. Another newbie question, what is the easiest way to determine if it is a deluxe or standard model? Is there a design feature that sets it off (badge…) or is the VIN the best way to determine?
The reason I am asking is that I have inherited a partially street rodded 53 that my father had started on about 15 years ago. The body is in good shape (no rust at all) but needs a tender touch to straighten out those BIG sides. It has already had a 4 bar rear end and Valarie front clip installed. I’m starting to get the itch to pick up where he left off and want to give my brother a fair pay off. Any idea on how desirable the 53-model year is?
