I'm inclined to agree those tail lamps appear to have the cap added for the '52 model year.
Angle and distance preclude a view of the trunk lid to tell if there is a V-8 emblem.
Listing as 1958 Silver Hawk. Front end not visible and car is monotone so no way to tell which year from those factors.
However, the car has dual exhausts, standard on V-8 models. The '57 V-8 Silver Hawks had a "V-8" emblem on the front fender sides while the 1958 models did not. I see no emblem on the subject car.
Very difficult to pin down.
Definitely not 1951 or 1952 per two-piece rear window.
Best we can do is list as 1947 as first possible year. Bumper guards look thinner, so could be 1947 Commander/Champion, or 1948-1950 Champion.
Definitely not 1948-50 Commander.
I agree. Most likely a 1953/54 coupe or hardtop. Most of the '55's had the side chrome seen on the '56 Hawks, but bottom of the line 1955's had trimless sides, with just the character line visible like the '53/'54 versions.
Will list as 1953 = first possible year.
Jet is correct.
1953 Super Jet to be precise. Note the window trim not present on the base Jet.
(1954 Super Jets also had the window trim but side trim as well, so this is a '53.)
Accessory overriders conceal the bumper guard style but the headlamp rims are of the Champion design.
Also, the fender ornaments are likewise of the shorter, Champion style.
This was listed as a sedan but the car has a one-piece windshield, taking that body style out. I believe it is a Starlite coupe.
It's not a Classic.
In addition to the rear window vent (not discernable in the photo) Classic models have the 5 short louvre design on the rear fenders just ahead of the tail lamp bezels. The furthest rear one should be visible in the photo if it was the extended wheelbase Classic model.
Yeah, I considered the lack of a visible side marker, but just chalked that up to lighting.
Clearly 1968 tail lamp lenses, and the 1967 opening design was different.
Yes, car is missing key trim but what little I can make out of the fender emblem, it appears to be of the Commander type.
Also, I cannot detect the 1953 taillamp cross-etching, although admittedly the photo is dark.
Cannot tell for certain, but I believe this is a 1959 model. The side trim looks heavier than the '57/'58 trim was, and the nameplate over the trim on the front fender looks to be of the bolder 1959 style.
I can see nothing that pinpoints this as a Champion.
In the last thumbnail, the best view of the side, it really looks more like the Commander style emblem, but there is way to tell for certain.
