Appears to be a non-Deluxe 200 as no wheel trim rings evident. Note how the side trim on the left and right sides of the car do not match. This car has been altered.

While this car carries a '51 front, the basic car clearly appears to be a '53 Clipper. Someone has substituted a '51 front clip. Feel the listing should be keyed to the basic car.
