I got these back in October from the collector known as "The Frenchman". Relatively common as far as Motor Citys go, but I didn't have them, the price was fair, and they are as perfect as you will see.
Motor City Gold MCG-001 1950 Nash Rambler Airflyte wagon
American Models AM-500 1951 Nash Rambler Country Club hardtop
Some questions for the experts - what was the thinking behind the jump to #500 in the American Models series? Was there an AM-501? Was there anything higher than AM-42?

I like these two, Harv. Great finds! And here's another that you probably have stuck back somewhere.

I had these two but sold them......then missed the wagon so much I bought another. Lol.

I have these two in these colors as well. Bought the Hardtop in early 2019 and got the wagon from the Dick Browne collection. I really like them both.
I love getting model of cars I've only seen in photos and following up with some research into these little gems.

Have both, love both. Motor City models had such finesse which these two clearly show.

@bob-jackman. I think it says much about MOC that they still hold up well against other models today

Harv, I missed this post of the other day. These are great Nash models.
