55 Nash

This could be a good deal, or a nightmare.....but for that little amount of money, I almost just shoved Ben's blue Miata out of the barn for it. FWIW, yes this would be the coupe for sure.

I'm glad Indiana is so far away.

That is a very odd animal. Beautiful mostly? It would seem these were the AMC of their generation?

Nash eventually became AMC when Nash-Kelvinator merged with Hudson so that is apt.

114.25 inch wheelbase, almost identical to the 2001 Crown Vic I picked up cheap and have been thinking about swapping a vintage body on to. Glad this is far away :)

Can't tell what the one for sale is, but I like the two door no post.

The coolness of this 55 Nash ran out of my computer screen

FWIW the Nash/AMC thing I knew, the wheelbase I had to look up 'cause I kinda recalled there was a Nash that fit the requirement for the CV frame swap but I certainly dont have vintage wheelbase measurements committed to memory :)

I have some weird automotive info rattling around in my brain, all mostly useless.

The CountryClub signifies it being the 2door postless coupe.

In '52, Nash took 3rd overall (ahead of Chinetti's Ferrarri) at the 24 Hours of LeMans as well as 7th overall in the Mille Miglia with the awesome Nash-Healey (A team up of a Nash I6 and OD 3-speed, Healey chassis and Pininfarina bodywork that they sold here in the US).

They also finished 4th overall at the '50 24 Hours of LeMans, 6th overall in '51 and 11th overall in '53. So Nash did have a bit of racing Pedigree.
