Great Photos everyone.... I think ill use them to Build a Extended wheel Base Chevy ambulance to go with my 51 Chevy I built... Keep posting good photos!!!
 
got these two today usually don't pop for them but as I'm trying to get the maker of the 53 I have down need as many photos as I can. this is a 53 national taken in 54 old brownie snap shot out of focus on the edges. you can see the rounded top on the cabinet doors and the national logo on the glass. tops of the door are squarer and the drip rail doesn't go around the back glass. the emblem is under the spear on the front fender. it's not clear but looks like national to me. anyone know that front plate.

Atti, first off thanks for all the great pics and stories. The last pics is one I've never seen posted before. I know that its a '53 Chevrolet. I also know you said you didn't snag the specifces. Was there any thing that lead you to know it was an Economy other than the web description? I ask because you see more of these in this state than most of us do and might have some other insites to IDing them.
Thanks, Joe
 
Negative Joe, sorry. When saving the image, the string came up economy.jpg.

The part about turning up junk made me chuckle. History channel has a new show about turning up old cars in the works - akin to American Pickers. A local friend is one of the finalists. If chosen, more will see my field skills. :eek:

Interior rear of my '53 Barnette

Here are some pictures of the interior rear of my '53 Pontiac/Barnette. The side deck covers are off so that I could access the belt-line trim. I do have replacement vinyl for the damaged areas around the medical cabinet.

in my searching today I did find a different one on the net a 53 acme sitting in a field somewhere in England. bad enough that only made 1324 of them then divided them among the pontiac dealers and the coach builders . but they shipped them over seas to. you can tell this is a Acme because the doors are square on the pillar and rounded on the outside edge. it has the delux hood orinament less the amber head. I could use that headlight bezel to.
