    You might be surprised to learn that the Nash wagon weighs around 2500 pounds while a Prius is 2932. The real issue is width, not weight. I believe the Prius wheel tread width is nearly 6 inches wider than the Nash, which will make transplanting the vital organs difficult but not impossible. It just may take 2 wagons (!) to pull this off. Remember the goal is a high MPG daily winter commuter rod, not a show car, hot rod or performance vehicle. I've already got that covered to my satisfaction.

    The '51 (sitting next to the '60 advertised) is kinda tired, sitting on an S-10 frame, and $2500. I think I'll hold out for something better. Thanks for trying.

    That's a metropolitan. I'm looking for the next larger size. I saw a really sound Nash convertible at the Portland swap meet for $5500, but I already have 2 converts - I need a nice warm winter driver. Keep trying, guys.

    You're right, that is a surprise, both actually. Never really checked out the specs on the Prius, but 2932 is surprising. My all steel, v8 powered 34 Plymouth is only 300 lbs heavier, and I would have thought the Prius would have been lighter than 2932, and the Nash wagon heavier than 2500.

    Live and learn.
