1953 Chevrolet Handyman Wagon

The Two-Ten series and the One- Fifty series was first introduced by Chevrolet for the 1953 model year and was the replacement model for the Styleline DeLuxe series. With many different options and variations between convertibles, coupes, two and four door sedans and the station wagons, it quickly became the best-selling Chevrolet model. The Two-Ten was particularly well sought for during the '53-'54 model years due to the wonderful balance of style and luxury options which weren't available for the One-Fifty series. These features brought this series much closer related the Bel Air without the high costs of their glitzy model. Within this series the Townsman name was first used in 1953 on the Two-Ten four-door station wagon which used the GM-A platform. They also made a “Handyman” model which brought the interior from an 8-passenger to a 6-passenger to allow more room for cargo.

The 1953 Chevrolet offered here is powered by its 350 v8 paired with an automatic transmission. The car runs and handles as it should. Highlights include power disc brakes, alloy wheels with P215/60R15 tires in the rear and P215/70R15 in the front, Sunpro tachometer, Panasonic CD player and an aluminum radiator. The car remains very solid. Cosmetically the car is starting to show its age but is still very presentable.
