Hello ,
so I live in France, Brittany region, Cotes d'armor department. in a small village named Plousgrescant.
I received my Chevrolet in January 2023. for the record, I had to buy a 1953 buick super eight cut without pillar ..... it comes from California where it underwent a restoration beginning in 2006. also, it was a little tuned. It has a 235 CI 6-cylinder engine and since I got it I've done a lot of work on it to get it running.
I own 2 old cars, 1 peugeot 203 sedan and 1 peugeot 203 pick-up
There

I'm glad you put original style wheels and caps on it and got rid of the trailer wheels.

What do you mean about the '53 Buick cut without a pillar? Do you mean it's a hardtop?

aie aie the translation ...... bah "without amount" is "without amount" ..... yes I think that we can translate by "hard top". I will try to post a photo.
I like the "origin" type. there are very few Chevrolet AK in France.

Love the Buick & the Chevy pickup. The Peugeot truck looks like it was a close relative to the American made Studebaker trucks of similar vintage.

Thanks for posting & for translating.
