It looks like the former Paul Gibbs' '53 Powermaster sedan is again up for sale on eBay. Check out the significant number of high-res photos of this mostly original '53.
As a 53 Firedome V8 owner I can certainly say this 53 is very original and nice. The only possible non original items are the wire wheels and some of the decals in the engine compartment. It is a real shame that the front seat has the rip in it especially since wear is so minimum. Paul must have had seat covers on them just like my car did/has. I removed the front seat cover to see what was underneath. I was happy to see the effect the covers had.
