Good grief you found my grandmother's old 54 Chevy sedan or it's identical twin right down to the white top and light green paint. I rode many many miles in the back seat of one that exact color combination that my grand parents bought new in 1954 and traded in their 48 fastback for.
It should have a pressure oiling 235 in it and either a powerglide or three speed. Just like the trucks up though 54 they had a closed driveline.

If it was mine I'd just slick it out, put a nice but not over the top paint job on it and a decent interior and drive the wheels off it. That is a car that four people can take a real road trip in and be comfortable to boot.
