My sister-in-law has purchased a home in Holland, and once she settles in, I'm looking forward to visiting her...and making a trip to the Gilmore!

Up here, in the hills, we're overrun with '37 Nash Ambassador Coupes, In fact, most folks own 4 or 5 of them. Really John, Gorgeous car and excellent photos!!

Seriously?    Is that because so many, back in the day, were moonshine runners - up there in them hills?      🤔 🤔 🤔

Why, yes. Yes, that's right. Uh, if stopped by the law, they said they were Ambassadors and running, ah, transporting international papers of high importance and they let them go. Secondly, that big trunk held an abundance of white lightning!

Thanks John. Nash built some beautiful cars that were superb both in quality and style. The quality remained but the style went away in 1949 IMO.
