Hard to figure why Nash went out of business with such a beautiful lineup....

 

I think I detect a wee bit of sarcasm there.....lol

 

The Bath Tub Nash, a child only the mother could love!

 

...and for some reason, my mother thought they were cute. (I wonder what that says about me?) Personally, I thought they resembled a turtle.

Really cool pic, though. Thanks Stu.

 

Look at the construction of those car haulers. That's some real steel there! Modern ones honestly scare me, they are so flexible and flimsy.

 

Lots became mothers in those reclining seats. Maybe that is why?

 

Keep them coming - Some neat stuff coming out of the shadows


Thanks

 

Maybe going off topic with the stuff but one of my dad's favorite stories was about a Nash. My dad was friends with local neighborhood cops. Back when the "Bath tubs" we're new the Milwaukee Police Department bought on for speed infor cement. My dad's friend was assigned one to sit at the end of one of the viaducts that span the center of the city. After being assigned the car he came by dad fuming. The car couldn't get out of own way and the local teenagers had fun speeding past his speed trap watching him try to keep up with them. The car didn't last long.

 

Actually Nash wasn't doing that bad when it folded in 1957. Hudson on the other hand which had been merged in 1954 with Nash had been on life support for quite a while. George Romney, later a politician was the head and he was a firm believer in small cars, primarily the Rambler so the big Nashes & Hudsons went bye bye. Sure remember them well, the bathtubs of 1949-51 and also the 1952-57s.

 

More transporters stolen from the web;

 

Those last two pictures are great. I notice that the F-5 has a driver's side mirror from the factory. And the trailer full of new 1950's.....not a droopy door handle in sight.

Very cool pictures. Interesting paint scheme on the Studebaker truck. I wonder what it looked like in color.

 

heres a few pics i took at the world AG expo in early february, the company that i retired from has bought from the company that owns this truck, so i had to get a few pics of it, this F4 belongs to Porter Welding in Orland, Calif

 

How is this for a working Ford Truck. I picked up that flatbed today.
