    I mostly learned to drive in grandpa's 54- Chevy 4-door and the school's 55 Chevy 4-dr. Always had a soft spot for 1954 Chevys.
    Still with the flat paint, worn chrome, and needing an interior this one is way over priced.

    I'm guessing the flat paint and the dulled chrome are intentional, given how uniform it is. Part of the "look" the owner was going for. Will certainly be attractive to a sector of the hobby, but I'm with you... I prefer it shiny!

    Yes I know it was for that look. Some do it to hide defects. Always makes me wonder. And at least the chrome is not painted. Looks like a nice straight wagon.
    Some like dull paint. Some like patina. Some like really big wheels. Keeps things interesting.
