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.
Bitchin' car !
'53 or '54?
If a man speaks while in his garage and his wife does not hear it, is he still wrong?
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..
I love Mopars so much I'm date coding the skid marks in my underwear.
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.
