I believe it is a 56 or 57, never could tell the difference between the two, but a 53/54 is a bit different, with raised tail light housings and they only came with an in line "stove bolt six."

The 56 and later had a nice sloped back like in your picture. Beautiful cars, unlike the over the top new vettes that look like something out of a scifi movie.

I owned a 66 Vette convertible for a short while but wouldn't care to own one of the new ones, but I chose red in the poll.

The red one below is a 53 and the blue one is a 57. Quite a few subtle differences.
