Never in my life did I believe a real (as in traditional and driven) hot rod would ever win another AMBR. I'm 60, and have been going to the...
Yes, round the door corners, even if they are under the drip rail. As for breaking the paint, which I'm not a huge fan of how it is usually done...
I have the same car (well, mine's a '50 Brougham). After seeing your chop, which I like, but have only drawn on a board, I think I want to go...
I had that bumper sticker on my '53 Cadillac hearse. I need to post my current small RV collection. I'll shoot pics this weekend...
The Mullins Museum in Oxnard, open every other weekend. It isn't parking lot, but it is a seriously sick collection that should not be missed by...
Not over a speed bump. Otherwise, hell yeah!
I know you meant that the 57 Rambler Rebel was the fastest metal bodied car made that year. It did not out accelerate a 57 Corvette, but it did...
I have had both, for free no less. Both were great, and I wouldn't say no to either again. Especially for free!
"Gangster" as in "bad ass", which this Nash is.
Any Meet & Greet? I always miss them, so if there isn't one, I will be there!
1960 marked the final year for the second generation Thunderbird. A Golde Edition, named after the German company who held the patent for the...
Agree with above. Not as good looking as Dan's. Probably not as good looking as the Omaha original.
Repo Man is being re-released in Hi-Def, which is worth it for the sound track alone. Harold & Maude. The Jaguar hearse is classic.
I use acetone/vegetable oil, 50% of each. Works wonderfully, and cheaper/cleaner than ATF. Stuck motors... a tub of agriculture molasses,...
I'll withhold judgement until it's further along, as I have criticized prematurely before. I do recognize the influences, having seen the Deco...
Do some research, as what you desire has been done before. There are many "original" survivors out there, having sold one last year, so one less,...
A '63 Impala SS lowrider, 13" Corvair wires too, and an automatic. I was having trouble mastering the non-syncro first gear or my dad's Chevy...
My parent's first car, before I was born, was a '47 Lincoln Continental Coupe, yellow with a Buick metallic green top, powered by a very hot '53...
Single stage semi-gloss light metallic green. White hides ugly, but is ugly itself.
I've had the sleeper fever ('63 Tempest, '64 Rambler Classic, '57 Rambler Rebel, and '64 Corvair Spyder) all built to go pretty fast, but not as...
I purchased my '50 Nash Ambassador Brougham from 4 fuzzy, long-distant Instamatic photos taken by an almost-blind retired optometrist in Garland,...
On naming cars of the era... On October 19th of 1955, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, Marianne Moore, was approached by a Mr. Robert Young of the...
I centered a t-pole once, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the day after the Indy 500 was delayed in 1986. In a O/T '77 911. Drifting an intersection at 45...
Cool ride, and welcome! Bathtubs are rare around here. Post a pic.
Nash Car Club. Worth the membership for sourcing reasonably prices parts, just don't mention the A Tudor. Their online classified adds are free to...
Too cool. I hope you/they leave it as is. Real or not, it's a tribute. Sig looks right, but I'm no expert on Von Dutch sigs. Post a trunk photo...
The neighbor of my girl friend was a Pontiac mechanic, and he ordered a 1971 Pontiac GTO "The Judge" convertible, Stage IV Ram Air Hurst shifter...
WalMart contracted with Fram for a huge order, and required Fram to deliver for their price/specs. It's called an Apple Contract, except Apple...
I did say "since the merger", which was in 1954. I admit to knowing a lot of history, but I'm not a historical writer. Frank, you should finish...
The larger rear window would be a 1950 Nash, either Statesman or Ambassador. The large side window makes it the rarer 2-door. I have one, a '50...
Separate names with a comma.
