Way back in the early 60s as a little kid, I could still get a glimpse what the 50s must have been like. The mid- century modern styling still lingered in the homes of family and friends and in stores around the neighborhood. And in many homes, there remained furnishings and appliances of the 30s and 40s. And yet in almost new condition! Different times....🤔
I had a 1953 Nash Statesman back in 1977-1979. It was a great car, but no big performer with it's L-head six. Definitely not a babe-magnet, but an interesting and unusual car. The Nash's of this era resembled over-turned bathtubs. You either liked them or loathed them..... thanks.
My grandfather had a Nash Ambassador in the city of Joanopolis, São Paulo state, southeast of Brazil. at the 50's. I don't know the car but my father tell me about the great suspension and confort. Very good car.
"keeps out mosquitoes, great horned owls, etc..." (I don't recall any '51 Nash minus the two right-side doors!) And I think they lost the outboard motor in the 1952 Statesman, too...
I just picked up a 66 Rambler American wagon 200 bucks! hardly any rust hasnt run since 1992 its puring now! just trying to find some front brake drums!
@@deepbludude4697 Those AMCs use bolt-on front spindles. This makes a disc brake conversion pretty simple. Find the setup from a later Hornet or Concord - spindles, rotors and calipers along with the proportioning valve and dual chamber master cylinder and you have a massive upgrade in safety and drivability. The parts are very common Ford pieces that AMC bought, so parts availability is a breeze.
