Here are Barrett Jackson File Photos of years 1949 to 1955 Chevrolets.
geez, if that doesn't convince all the non believers that it's a 1950 then nothing will!

You know there are still going to be posters who don't bother to, at the least, skim through the pages. Head, meet wall.

Hi, definitely a 1950, the subtle grille changes are the difference in the 1949 to 1952 Chevrolets, a Deluxe model was also introduced with these models...the 1953-54 models, as has been mentioned was a square body style that only was produced for two years, preceding the 1955 year model which introduced the V8 engine....

'introduced the overhead valve V8'
Ford had been offering a V8 since the 30's but it was a flat head and not any where close to the OHV. Personally I believe that is what propelled the Chevy sales and not so much the style. The '55 Chevy was fresh, the '55 Ford also, Plymouth/Dodge, barf.
Edit; Ford put an OHV V8 in their cars starting in '54 but the Chevy engine was newer and better. (I was a Ford fan back then but the truth is the truth. I had a 51 ford convertible for a while that I put a Chevy 283 in. The fords axles couldn't handle it.)

The taillights on the '49 and'50 are basically the same, but quite different than the '51 and '52

All true, and at 239ci, the Ford OHV block was a bit smaller displacement than Chevy's first V8 at 265ci, and it's amazing how much this small block Chevy has evolved over the years!

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.
Here is a picture.
