DynaMike ◊ 2011-07-19 20:53	I make this a 1954 Champion or Commander Starliner. 1954 by the higher overriders (but still old grille), Starliner by the pillarless hardtop version. I'm afraid the differences between Champion and Commander is only the engine and the badge under the C-pillar: a wide V with an S or with an 8...
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-07-19 21:00	Agree hardtop ("Starliner") but I'm inclined to say this is a '53. Those bumper guards look like the smaller type to me, although it is admittedly rather far away to tell for certain. Will list as Champion as it appears the medallion on the rear quarter panel is rounded, making it probably the Champion circle S rather than the open V-8 design of the Commander.
