Ah, yes...the lovely '49 to '51 Nash
'Airflyte' - the ultimate in early-50's
space-ship styling and Nerdmobile
'par excellance'! To my mind,
something about the alleged 'styling'
eek:) of the early-50's 'bathtub'
Nashes has always, absolutely
screamed "carnival-ride bumper
car"! All that's missing - (and maybe
should have been an optional factory,
or at least a J.C. Whitney available
accessory' ) - is a pole on the back
to conduct electricity from the ceiling!!!

Peacemaker in flight

 

I was around eight yrs old when these were in their hay-day. I thought they were a joke. I would have died if my family had one. I still think they look stupid. I guess I had a pretty finely honed perception of auto styling for a kid those days. My brother's black 1950 Pontiac convertible, now that was what a car should look like.

 

I never could figure out the attraction for those things either. They were ugly then and they still are.
It seems like they used them a lot for cop cars in the early 50s black and white movies for some reason.
