The Nash he is talking about got good mileage, even by current standards, of
30+ mpg. The later Rambler American, a smaller, stripped down version with, I believe, the same flat head six, got a little better. I looked down the bore of number one cylinder on one, with a vertical groove at least two millimeters deep, and started thinking, how much work I was willing to put into a fifty year old "economy car". Some fish you just have to throw them back.Earle
If it has those reclining seats I'd save it! :-)
Thanks but it apears to be dead at least at the moment I'll try later.
That is just too cool, I LOVE those little trucks. A while back someone had one on ebay that had a Stude 289 in it, talk about the best of both worlds!

Heh. Ex's mom let her date me because I showed up in an MGB and mom presumed her daughter couldn't get in trouble in a small brit sports car. Daughter took that as a personal challenge.

The even older Nash's, before they went on the 6 banger kick got pretty good mileage as well. Straight 8, twin ignition, standard overdrive... and the same reclining seats.

The life expectancy of 'Real Jeeps" was 3 months.
Georgie's Caddy t-boned a 6-by. The driver and other passenger were uninjured.
The car was repaired and returned to service. It is now in the Patton Museum at Ft Knox.
It is more likely they were given promotions and then quietly murdered to ensure their silence.
Largely due to the windshield wipers not being fast enough to fend off those nasty 88mm droplets.
