Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1954 chevy 2door car, rear fenders, 54 chevy

Question
HI,Iam buying this 54 chevy and the front fenders are not on it in the picture, they look like 1953 fenders, will they work on the 54 and a 54 grill if i put them on, or do i need to get 1954 fenders? THANKS

Answer
Hi Michael:
The 1953 and 1953 Chevy have almost identical body styles. That includes front and rear fenders. The 1954 Chevrolets are very similar to the 1953 year.  Basically, the only difference is a bit more powerful engine, front grill change, the hood bird is different, the Chevrolet hood and trunk plaques are different, and the 1954 radio has a Chevy logo on the dial.  This car also came in 3 styles.  The higher end "Bel-Air" Series, the mid range "210 Series", and the economy range "150 Series". Hope this helps.
