  I need to how this vin# reads 53SL116294M

  The serial number shows very limited information pertaining to the engine.

53 = 1953
SL = St. Louis plant
M = Mercury
116294 = the engine sequence number at the St. Louis plant for the 1953 model year, with the first engine number being 100,001

If you have the car, there should be a data plate on the driver's side door jamb. It will have more data to decode.

  Thanks Ken, I just purchased the car, and it will be delivered next week. See attached picture.
