The 1953 Series 62 saw a redesigned grille with heavier integral bumper and bumper guards the repositioning of parking lamps directly under the headlights chrome "eyebrow" type headlamp doors and one piece rear windows... without division bars. Wheel discs were fashioned in an attractive new disced design.
