[Closed] PICS 1:1 - Tuesday

Taste change over the years. I used to think these cars were so ugly. Now, I think they look great!

C'mon, Daniel Schmitt, spring for the correct WWs and you'll have a winner!

Agree, Marlowe! I love these, and they were reputed to be very fine cars.

It is interesting that images of WWII-era styling studies showed that even the industry leaders like GM were considering fully-skirted envelope or bathtub bodies for the early post-war era, but only the independents truly embraced the concept -- and Nash to an even greater extent than Hudson or Packard.

Yet, because GM and number 2 (at the time) Chrysler did not produce cars that fully encompassed the bathtub look, the independents were left with cars that were (and are) considered oddballs for the era.

My taste didn't change on this one. It was butt ugly new, and even butt uglier today. And what is with the "thin" whitewalls? Not being period correct, is what really bothers me more than the looks of the car.

Great comments Brian! I agree, though I don't care for the bathtub look.

Very nice, but it needs period correct WWs.

Just a reminder....

This seller also takes cars on consignment. This may be one of those. Therefore, it may not the sellers car to make changes with the tires.

Nash

C'mon guys! You all are trying to be nice! I looked up "UGLY" in my Webster and the Nash is there. I am not buying your comments just like the public didn't buy Nash's cars! LOL!

Good point about the tires Larry. However, if I were the seller,

I'd most definitly make the owner aware of the tire issue. It might help to sell the car just a little faster.

A unique car with a unique interior. I didn't realize that some of the dash switches were located behind a sliding panel. I like that, and I'd like this model in 1:24.

Beautiful Then, Beautiful Now!

I have a 51 Nash Ambassdor Super 4dr.

Its cosmetically challenged but solid as a rock and runs great! Loads of fun to drive and frighten Prius drivers. 24 MPG with the overdrive engaged.

What a neat, neat Nash !!

Even though I owned a 1949 Statesman, I never cared for the looks of these cars...having said that, mine was a 27,000 mile car and it drove like a dream. An added bonus was the fact that the seats folded flat into beds if you were so inclined(pun intended).
