got the lafayette home....

More pics of my 36 3 window rumble seat coupe!

 

Sweet! What's the story? Where did you find it? I love a good story.

 

Found her on a farm in Oklahoma, very rare car....3 window, rumble seat...needs alot of work but pretty much all there!

 

Nice looking car, great lines. For some reason, I seem to find myself preferring those old coupes in the "as built" configuration instead of chopping or otherwise messing with them. They just look right, as is. Must be old age.

I like it, looks like a cool project.

 

Yep ...
Some call it old age, some call it maturity.
I prefer to call it the onset of good taste!

 

Looks like about a gallon of 'Navel Jelly', wire brushes and some good primer you'd have a decent lookin' old Nash!
Good to see you got it safely home.

Congradulations!

Those are BIG cars!

 

Awesome car! Rare

 

Oh man, what a find! Don't know when I've seen that body style. Have fun! Hope you post progress shots.
here's a couple pics of the 37 Ambassador we brought back from NY last week. My wife made me buy it, to build for her (I'll keep her). 472 Caddy goes in, but keeping body pretty stock.
That rumble-butt is gonna be one helluva ride.

 

Cool, cool ride! you'll never park next to another one of those.......anywhere!!

 

The rear profile of the door is killing the lines on that car.

 

bad lines huh? Oooooooookay?

 

Amen to that

 

...meaning the door

 

It looks like they used a front door off a four door sedan or something.

But good looking car anyways would be a nice platform for a prewar custom

 

I like the detail on the hood sides

what are your plans ?

 

tough crowd huh? I like it!!!

 

I think a lot of people think the doors should be rounded...Sorry guys, she's staying as is! That's what makes her unique! Plans? Still trying to decide.....

 

I like it!
Great looking "face"
It's going to be beautiful with the top chopped so the door window is about as tall as where it's rolled down to now...
And those wheels will look great with some candy colors fogged on to accent those embossed scallops.
Lets see, what else, channel it and lose the running boards, move the fenders up on the 1/4 panel.
Is another grill a possibility?
That dent's going to be difficult to fix without cracking the casting. maybe reproduce it in stainless.
It's a handsome looking grill...
Did I say I like it?!

 

Great to see you have it home, what are your plans for her?
I have a 400 small block w/700R ford rear Mustang II front.

 

Not sure what the plans are yet? You've got a great looking sedan!

 

You got to find a way to use those wheels, they are tits. The car has nice lines, as is.

 

Cool coupe for sure. You should hear the story of ButcherTed's Nash and what he went through to get it. But talk about a RIDE! He could right a book on that one. But it's one impressive Rod as I'm sure yours will be......................

 

That thing is awesome just as is...even with those doors. I'd just get that thing motor-vatin' and have a TON of fun!

 

I wouldn't change anything on the body. Even if its is tall, it looks very cool. The wheels are something else too. Great find there, wish I could run into something like that. Too bad you couldn't find a Hopped up Hudson 6 for a motor. That would be pretty expensive though.

that cars got bitch'in written allover it

 

more pics of your find ,engine,interior,trunk pics pics !

 

i think its real cool, keep the doors like they are, really neat

 

That's what I like to hear, someone that doesn't care what other people think. Your car will be great when its done! I like different. Keep us posted on your progress!
