Reader Photos: 1953 Chevrolet station wagon
“I am working on my ‘transportation,’ a gold Schwinn Stingray with ape hangers, a leopard banana seat and sissy bar. My folks’ 1953 or 1954 Chevy wagon, the ‘Family Truckster,’ [was] robin’s egg blue and white with a 235 six and Powerglide tranny.”
[This was] probably about 1964,” writes Old Cars reader Steve Yates. “My younger brother, Ted, is on the right, a friend of mine is in the middle and I am on the left. I am working on my ‘transportation,’ a gold Schwinn Stingray with ape hangers, a leopard banana seat and sissy bar. My folks’ 1953 or 1954 Chevy wagon, the ‘Family Truckster,’ [was] robin’s egg blue and white with a 235 six and Powerglide tranny. The other car is a Chevy coupe, I believe a 1949 or 1950. This was my dad’s work, hunting and fishing car. I wish I had both cars today, and my Stingray bike!”
