My mom bought the car new in Oklahoma. Family treasure. Full restoration about 15 years ago. Driven frequently. Currently in Moab. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Wow what a sweet car.

'53 or '54?

My mom purchased this car on June 5 of 1953 for a total of $2950 including the Kelsey Hayes wire wheels. It was purchased from the Denison motor company and Oklahoma City. One family ownership and it's fully documented. Full rotisserie restoration. Recently did a rebuilt fuel pump and replica fuel tank and a custom-made radiator. 98,000 miles.

It's a 1953 model. I've got the bill ticket and a letter from Chrysler historical Society. It's kind of cool. Somewhere I have the original receipt from the purchase. Optional equipment on the car included deluxe radio, air, foam cushions, cigar, lighter, Gyro- Matic transmission, wire wheels, side mirrors, heater, and white sidewall tires.

Very beuatiful car!! The local new car conglomerate has one in their centralized oil change facility in the waiting room..

Hi! Tell me more. Where? I have only seen one other '53 convertible in my life. A survivor down in Golden, CO owned by Captain GTX.
Thanks for the kind words. "The Blue Bomb" is a family treasure. A bit of a nightmare parts wise. Speaking of which I would love to buy a 53 convertible parts car if you know of anything laying around in someone's backyard under a tarp.

Please excuse all of my typos and punctuation problems ahead of time. I use Siri for the stuff.

I let you know if I see any vert parts or cars out here.
Keep that beauty on the road!!

Thank you!  I try to keep her reliable and show . New replica fuel tank arriving Tuesday! I just was going to replace the rotting fuel filler tube and I noticed a bunch of dents in the tank so...we can't have that.  it never stops.    Fuel tank arrived!  Looks perfect. Purchased from Van's. Excited for a test drive today w new fuel pump and radiator!

It's Nielsen Express Service Center in Dover, NJ. Haven't been in there in awhile so not sure if still there.

Good looking car and a great story too
