When I was 5 years old I road in a 49 Nash from Oregon to Arkansas - it had a burlap water bag on the front bumper for going over the Rocky Mtns - probably no antifreeze back then to help with over heating. That was probably 1953?
That was such a cool find and to find out it's a '53 Nash Statesman and rare at that is a neat story for sure! Any plans on possible ownership and restoration? That would be an interesting series to follow for many😁 Thanks for the follow up!
Hey Dustin been watching you for years. If you're looking for an adventure down more south in BC. I recommend doing the Harrison lake FSR to Pemberton drive, if you're ever out that way looking for an adventure. Tons of campsites, waterfalls, scenery.
congrats on the automobile discovery .........modern day sherlock Holom's of cars! and your right its the trim package being Nash. rambler the states is small coupe , modern day comparison would be the mimi cooper and the mini coachmam
My grandpop was a car collector who had Nash, Packards and Hudson’s in his collection. The Hudson’s were his pride and joy. Those car companies later merged and eventually became AMC (I think). It’s been a long since my grandpop told me that story as a kid - the details have faded some.
HEY DUSTIN LOVE YOUR VIDEOS IF YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE OF WINTER I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD MIND IF U DID SOME MORE VIDEOS OF AROUND YOUR AREA OR HAVE YOUR DAD COME ON AND TELL HIS STORY ABOUT HOW HE ENDED UP GETTING INTO THE LOGIN BUSINESS BEFORE retiring KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BROTHER STAY SAFE AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT FOOT PRINTS 🫡
still lots of part on it that could be reused. Even the owners could cut the front clip off and use that as art. The rear truck could be used as neat seat . Next to no one going to spend the 60 grand it would cost to bring it back. Beyond that it would be neat if there sun was setting and you put coloured lights inside and took some pictures. I would bet that it might even had been inside a barn etc till 20 or 30 years ago. The paints way to good for it to have been there. Maybe it was in use and then a tree fell on it etc . The owner said well it's yard art because it's not worth the time or cash.
Dang, someone already commented on the difference between the Ambassador, Statesman and Rambler. The Statesman series was positioned between the top-line Nash Ambassador and above the Nash Rambler. But now we all know a little bit of history. Thanks for the update Justin. And I would definitely try to purchase that car.!!
Seeing car finds like that always makes me smile and lends to the nostalgia factor. I grew up around the Quarter-Mile track, my parents own an auto repair shop that specializes in high-performance and rebuilt engines. Classic & muscle cars are what I knew growing up! Seeing this Nash made me think of the '58 Plymouth Fury my dad had sitting in our parking lot. It was in much worse condition than you see the Nash in. He wanted it as a project car for my younger brothers and himself. It was getting to the point where they had no time to work on it, no time to research parts and resources, and it was just plain in the way. A family friend approached with an offer, and Dad sold it to him. It took the man 10 years, but she's absolutely stunning! Completely restored from the frame up, and looks exactly like Christine.
