The Chrysler Imperial was a luxury car during its era. Along with the Lincoln Continental with the suicide doors. The 1954 Chevy was virtually identical to the 1953. Except for the tail light design. It was a straight 6 cylinder engine. Very reliable back then. My father owned a 1953 model. The very next year, 1955, Chevy shocked America with a 265 cu, in. V8 engine. A better looking car too, than the 1954 model.

While your description of the '54 Chevy is generally accurate, actually there was a major difference to the grille, with the '54 adding 2 extra bars to the '53's 3 bars. There were other minor changes as well.
A '54 Chevy was my second car at age 16, replacing my '41 Chevy convertible.

Nice photos. I use to own a 1963 Crown Imperial. What a boat that car was. There were few factory stock cars larger than those grand old imperial's.

I had a 53 for a few years when I lived in Chicago. It started and ran like a top, except it would not start when the temp was under 5d. F. But I loved that car...
