I just received my February 2018 issue of Shutterbug Magazine, and noticed on page 73, that a nice B&W photo of a Chevy Car is listed as a 1954 model. It looks more like an earlier model to me. Am I wrong? Taken by a Graflex 22 camera.

I don't get Shutterbug Magazine but I'm guessing their talking about the camera they used for the shot back in the day.

The photo is in an ad for a film scanning device. The vehicle is labeled as a 1954 Chevrolet photographed in 1958 using Kodak Plus-X 120 with a Graflex 22. UHH member “mas24” is asking whether the year of the Chevy is mis-identified.

I subscribed to the magazine version, not the digital version. Unable to show an image. Surely, I'm not only magazine subscriber on uhh.

The car appears to be a 1953 Chevy.

You're definitely correct. I'd say a 51-53 Chevy.

I think it is a 1949 to 52 Chevy....in 1953 Chevy put in "wrap-around" windshield...no bar in the middle. I think it is a 1950, but definitely not a 1953 or 1954..my two cents

Not a 53 or 54. They were almost the same. I had a 54. The photo has to be earlier, 52 or earlier but the 48's from GM were "fastback" so that narrows it down a bit.

After looking at the grill. I would now say that it is a 1949 or 50.

Agree with the guy above me it's before 53 ---
