Classic American Cars #1

On my last vacation to Cuba I found classic American cars all over the island.

Absolutely beautiful works of art - but I have no idea what the make and model are!

 

Maybe you could add a few words to help me out ! The year would help too.

Too easy... 1953 Chevrolet sedan. It appears to have Bel Air trim, but it's been altered. The three chrome 'teeth' have been removed from the front grille, the stainless trim around the windshield is gone and the 'Bel Air' script is missing from the rear door - plus, there are several other small changes.

Cubans are famous for "customizing" their cars and making little (sometimes major) changes to them, for reasons not obviously apparent to us but which would have made great sense to them when they did it.  But I'm sure as a car guy you are very familiar with this.  It's only easy if you know the answer, Dave B.  Thanks for your help in figuring out what it is.

 

And thanks for sharing thes beautiful car photos, GarryRF.  I could look at these great machines all day long.

Sorry... didn't mean to come off as a know-it-all. The message that I wanted to convey was that when you said 'Cuban cars', I was expecting to see some extremely modified sheetmetal/trim. That '53 is in very near-to-stock condition.
