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.
This is definitely a 1950 Chevrolet sedan.

Don't know about the Chevy's year but there's another error in Shutterbug's February 2018 issue. On page 44, the writer Ron Leach wrongly identifies a White Ibis as an Egret. Kinda makes me wonder about the accuracy of all other articles found in Shutterbug.

1952 was the last year Chevy used the split windshield so this is a '52 or earlier.

Billnikon pointed that out on page 4 on this Post. Two errors in one issue of a noted photography publication. Not good.

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 âmas24â is asking whether the year of the Chevy is mis-identified.
I just put these images from google searches together for all to see.
1949 on top 1952 on the bottom

NOT a '53. 49-50 same tail lights, 51-52 tail light fender change from 49-50, 51-52 slight change in grill, 52 got teeth across center bar, 53-54 complete body change from earlier models. 55- another body change etc. Owned 52.

At most this is a 1952. Major body style change in 1953 which carried into 1954.

after a bit of google search. I'll stick my neck out and say it's a '50. The 49 had verticals under the grill's horizontal bar. The 51 had different turn signal lights and the 52 had a one piece windshield
Not so my 52 had a split window.

Like I said, I stuck my neck out. Further research showed me the error of my ways. go back about three or four posts from this one

Rich, there's no convincing those who still say it's a '52...you can put up 10,000 pictures of the '49-'50 which it is, and someone will still say it's a '52, it's hopeless!

It's a 1950, 2dr deluxe - we had one almost like it except ours was a fleetline model.

My vote is for the 1950 model...Had buddies in high school who drove them...All I had was my little 34 Ford 3 window coupe!
