I was just impressed and surprised I have never seen any of these rides before. qat727, it sounds like you do have quite a collection of the rare and obscure. It is deffinitely better than having something 50,000 other people also do. Keep it up!! I am younger too, and I do remember the Nash. An old highschool classmate had a Rambler. That thing was huge. I came from a real rural town which had a lot of strange one-of-a-kind vehicles. If I ever see any of them, I will try to post em here.

No offence taken, at least by me. There was a paucity of odd vehicles around the high school parking lot here in Oak Ridge. There were a few vintage vehicles, but no really rare ones. As for my collection of odd cars, I only have 5. My dad has around 20, one uncle has around 50, another has 20, and another has over 100. The one with 100 owns the yard, and the one with 50 owns part of about half of those cars. We do have a habit of collecting the rare and obscure for several reasons. One: to stump and amaze people, and Two: economics. Not many people want an odd car, thus the buying price is much cheaper than a popular car or truck. My Nash Ambassador for example. I bought the thing with a GOOD STEEL body on it for $1776, plus around a $500-600 trip to go get it. It just happened to come with a Mustang II front end, 351C built up and bored over, a C6, Mustang 9", and several other things already installed. I doubt seriously if you could get that kind of a deal on a GM, FoMoCo, or Mopar of that vintage. As for Nash, I prefer their middle years. The 30s are good for me. Anything newer and the build quality was deteriorating, as was the looks. Those Slipstream Nashes were some smooth cars. I don't think the big 3 matched those lines until later. My Ambassador is in my gallery if you want to look at it.
