Looks pretty good. I think the seller had asked some questions on here once.
Ad says it's a '52 but it's a '53 based on the upholstery, hood ornament and gauge cluster. Also has a '53 rear bumper. I say it's a '53.

Yes it is. I spoke to the owner. He was is a restorer in Murphy and wanted 15,000. I guess the 16,500 is due to the handler's mark up. The restorer seemed a nice guy and does good work ,but he knew little of Henry J's and whats correct. The 4 cly without O.D. is in my opinion agressively priced. of course I hope he gets every penny he can. the engine and drive line was cleaned up but not rebuilt. I doubt if the hang on engine acessories were addressed if they worked.I'm looking for a car, but have no trouble passing on this one.

Here's another one listed as a 1952 but it is clearly a 1953 (hood ornament, rear bumper, dashboard and gauge cluster all distinguish it as a 1953).
