| This 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air 2 door sedan was purchased new from Guest Motors in Hull, Quebec.The car was later driven across Canada to British Columbia and was purchased by our family in the early 1970's. The vehicle was used as a daily driver and in the mid 1980's it underwent a full engine rebuild and transmission servicing.In 1985 the car was parked in a storage garage where it remained for over 30 years.The car is totally dry and has not seen rain since it was put in storage.Carefully brought back to life in the summer of 2018, the car is now a good running example from the past.I drove this car all last summer with no issues.This 66 year old vehicle is in generally solid condition with the expected blemishes of an original example of this vintage.
