It is not a 53 because it does not have a split windsheild. It is ether a 54 or early 55, because late 55and 56 have a hidden upper door hidge!

I would say that is a 55 Dodge To identify: 55 - look for the Serial numbers starting with C-3 which are located on a plate on the left side of the cowl under the hood. 54 - Same location as 55 - but start with C-1 53 - Serial numbers are on a plate on left door hinge and start with B-4
