Down On The Mile High Street: 1953 Chevrolet 210 Sedan
I’ve been on a Junkyard Find roll lately, but I haven’t forgotten the old/interesting cars that are still among the living. Here’s a nearly-60-year-old Chevy that lives— more accurately, thrives— on the street near downtown Denver.
I’m pretty sure this is a ’53, what with the one-piece windshield and 53-ish gutted grille, but you never know for sure with all the parts-swappage that takes place with these things.
It’s good to know that such cars still get used for transportation these days.

I wonder what kind of gas mileage he's getting?
Dave, most old cars like this don't cover many miles over a year's time, so gas mileage doesn't much matter to the owner.
