The obvious affection and kindred spirit between you and Hunny Bunny is a wonderful thing to witness and which to aspire. Looking forward to the Ambassador will it run series!
I remember "driving" our mother crazy running around the house with pot lids sing " The Nash Rambler" song somewhere in the late "50.s Beep beep! Plus our grandparents who had a car took us on several summer trips up north in the summer in a little Nash Rambler convertible. That car was soooo cool. Miss some cars like I miss some people who are no longer there. Please, don't obliged to make this one road worthy, Scott.
In the 60's my aunt had a Nash Metropolitan. When I was very young (so don't judge me) that weird gas filler neck was just too tempting - I dropped a rock in the tank. This is the first time in sixty years I've admitted it (everybody's long gone now... safe!). It's somewhat interesting that my aunt's NEXT car was an early 70's Mustang Mach I, so I guess she thought Nash's were gutless in every way too.
This car was built when Nash still owned Kelvinator and looking at that door all I see are refrigerator styling cues. The handle, the sculpted lines at the top, the grooved aluminum window trim. Pretty funny when you think about it.
American Motors guy here, glad to see some work being done on the Nash. I'm all for getting it to run again and at least be a yard driver that can be moved around with ease if needed.
Dear agent Keith. 👍👌👏 And I like your Rovers! I always did, even before watching CWM respectively seeing your cars. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Scott, no matter which brand car or year of build it is always SO GREAT to see you repair them. Thank you for that! All of us look forward to your video when it appears! Cheers to your "BUNNY" also! Rich
Ahhh! The Nash, built in my home state of Wisconsin! While I was never a fan of the "Airflyte" design, I liked their earlier models. Glad to see your giving her some attention.
I remember watching the episode when you went out to get that car in the winter in a field in thw middle of nowhere. It would be a thrill to see if you can do those repairs and possibly gettimg it to run again. Even if its just for yard drives. Super cool car love em . Take care
I guess you've already thought this through, but is it possible to cut less rusty sections from the crashed doors to tidy the donor doors even further Scott?
I have an affinity for the old Nash styling too. I'm hoping a good parts car or better project car comes your way and the Ambassador Custom comes back to life. Also, I think it's magic sometimes when you get dents, dings or creases out of metal work. Cheers
Hi Scott. Bill here again, fan of your Nash! Im doing the same thing to a 58 Edsel Bermuda I drug home a year ago. Glad and fun watching the doors being repaired & replaced, please keep it moving along. I also love “odd” cars, in addition to the Edsel, I own a 57 Packard wagon and a 57 MG Magnette ZB Varitone sedan.
Dad had same car in the 50s . I remember it as my first car ride. Got dads arm as a seatbelt. He also had green bathtub Nash later. But he also moved on to older Caddy’s . My favorite was a 1960, 4 Dr.series 62, deep blue,6 window hard top,gray cloth interior.
Scott, shut the back door! Nice transformation of a tree + weeds rescue parts car bit! The smart save of the internals with lube and hammer made it all worthwhile! Paint looks good without the mold! The best part is the chuckle fest you and Honey Bunny got out of the project! Mega Cheers!
Actually Scott, I have always loved old Nashes. Maybe it's because I'm turning 75 in January and I grew up right around the corner from a "bloodline" Nash dealership; the Nash estate is still about 5 miles away from where I still live in Geneva, Ohio, but obviously it no longer houses any of the Nash family. Their mother drove a 1940-41 Nash convertible. It wa pristine. As I said, they were first generation Nash folks; I'm not saying that whole story of Nash began in my hometown, but I am saying that I've always admired the brand!
In my PDR world I deal with stretched dents or "oil canned" dents fairly often... We had some primitive methods to deal with it , but I purchased a "hot box" . Initially through PDR company's they were $2500 to $3000 . But I bought mine for $400... It has saved many panels from going the filler/bondo route.. It heats the exact area you need to heat & depending , I can quinch it & with cold water or even ice .. And it tightens the metal right up alowing me to finish the dent ... Not sure it would pay for itself in your repairs , but they are relatively inexpensive today .. Amazon has several to choose from..
Scott, Thank you for another fantastic old car rescue. Your Nash such an interesting car. I am going to enjoy seeing your progress. Have lots of hope that parts, time all fall into place so that it becomes a driver in 2015. God bless you all your Cold War Motors agents, supporters, and fans. Blaine Halley Santa Cruz, CA 😎
Thanks you your channel, I have started to appreciate more of the 'odd' vintage cars like the Nash. Kudos to you in preserving what you do! Great youtube automotive channel!
Those bathtub Nash's were pretty funky looking even back in 1958 when my mom and dad went shopping for a second car for my mom. They bought a year old 1957 Nash Rambler at the local Rambler dealer and I remember my parents talking about how much better the newer ones looked after they dumped the bathtub styling. The funny thing was the Rambler American kept the bathtub styling up until 1960 as I had an aunt that had a 1959 American right up until the mid 1960's when she traded it in for a 1963 model.
I had a '54 Ambassador that was a great highway cruiser. If you need body parts, the Ambassador and the Statesman models had identical body shells from the firewall back, so Statesman parts will fit. Hood and fenders are longer on the Ambassador to fit the bigger engine.
Would love to see more Nash action. My dad had a '53 Ambassador, a really great family car with oddball styling. Looking forward for the new calendar. Cheers! 😎👍🏎🏁🏁
I actually have what one could call the "Grandson" of this car, a 1966 AMC Rambler Ambassador 990 with the 327ci V8 and a 2 barrel carb. Currently it's in the shops for a brand new carburetor, full fluid change and the brakes seen to as it's been off the road for around 9 years. Looking forward to seeing the process of you fixing up this old gem
Thank you Scott for doing a short video on the Nash my favorite car i remember riding in the back seat of a 50s Nash when i was a kid had a great time never forgot that car love them i think it was about 1972 cheers see everyone on Saturday looking forward to it.😊👍✌❤
*Ambassador!* You know how much I like the Nashes - I was brought home from the hospital as a lump of new human flesh in a '58 Nash Rambler wagon in 1961, after all - but I understand the numbers on them these days (a nice Ambassador can be had for less than $15k USD). Yay calendar - looking forward to it. - Ed on the Ridge
Thank you Scott for a preview on the Nash Rambler. I had a 1959 Nash Metropolitan. The never changed the shape of the bodies thru the years. Thanks for sharing. 💯👊👍
The outside door handles were known to stick causing the doors to fly open going around a curve. If you are still having issues with the Volvo rear mirror, I had a 98 V70 wagon and I think they were the same. Perhaps Kyle has an interchange manual on that part. Hope your party is a success.
11:26 Ive been calling for some help for the Nash for several years 11:26 . Makes me really pleased to see some effort on it! "Flathead Challenge" anyone?
Scott, it's been a minute since I've commented on a vid. I really enjoy your eclectic love of old iron. When you were putting the boot to that back door, the only thing that came to mind is: that no shoe, that's daahs boot fixixin that dent. On a serious note, at the risk of causing honey bunny to blush, love her appearances in the vids. Her accent is as cute as she is. And, I'm sure you are less of a "sad bastard" when she's near. Thank you for always entertaining
Only place in the world to see body work on a door still covered in lichen! Rock on, Bodywork-of-the-Absurd! I was almost disappointed to see that you had cleaned it… I totally get why you would bang on it when it’s too dark to work on primary projects, and you might not have the patience left for exacting jobs like faddling Citroens… sometimes banging on stuff is just the most appealing task available!
I owned a 1950 Nash Ambassador automatic shift. It was neat the way you had to pull the shift lever back to start the car. I bought the car for $10 (US) in 1964. Believe it or not it was in great shape. The seats folded down into a bed. which was perfect for dating. Unfortunately all the dads knew about kids with Nash's and they frowned on their daughters getting picked up by them. I remember watching you pick up that car from a field. Can not believe that was ten years ago. Hope you do not get discouraged. Looking forward to seeing it run!
Nash's have always facinated me, that car has always made me gravitate to it at your place. If only it was in better shape as it would be such a phenomenal car restored or hot rodded.
now, both R5 conveyances can be assigned separate teams. then, an optic spectrometer can be assigned to each, deciding who's HotBox achieved the Highest Density.
You mean that gap on the hood and fender wasn't factory? 😆 The gaps on my Rambler left a lot to be desired and the fender was brazed in place by the factory!
I bought a pair of 69 dodge d500 doors to replace on a 69 Fargo 100 with terrible hinges and latches. The “new” doors are not great but they’ll do door things. This video made me feel like I’m doing a contours restoration of this firewood hauling Fargo.

Keep going! You are well on your way to a full resto. Don't worry about that fender gap, you can fake that out with some coat hangers and kitty hair.
Yeah! "Hard work done", as they say! Cheers buddy... Spin by for the kitty hair party anytime!

Nice to see the Nash getting a little love.

Geez @yannsschonfeld5847, I have that record on 45!
No need for it to be perfect or straight. Would be neat to see it live and ply the roads again!

Another vote for giving this a refresh! Such a beautiful car. These orphan makes are so much more interesting than the Big Three stuff.
2stroketurbo channel did a nice little panel bash and splash on the "No Frills Nash". I think it was the same color as the parts car here.
So pleased that the old girl's getting gussied up. You'll get her going. I know it!
My Dad was a Proud Nash Man!! 48- 54, back and forth on Rt 66, between St Louis Mo and LA California!!
This car was built when Nash still owned Kelvinator and looking at that door all I see are refrigerator styling cues. The handle, the sculpted lines at the top, the grooved aluminum window trim. Pretty funny when you think about it.
I'm remember as a child my grandparents had a blue 1953 Nash which they drove on Sundays.
Scott, there’s something incredibly cathartic about watching You put life back into a sick vehicle…….. Cheers Bloke 🍻🍻🍻🍻 have a good weekend.
As a youngster in Saskatoon my Grandmother and grandfather had a Nash just like that. Flashback to another time. Cheers
continue w this project bro.. id love to see it restored and running again
What a cool car that Nash is! It definitely deserves some tidying up.
They're unique cars. Looking forward to Saturday!
American Motors guy here, glad to see some work being done on the Nash. I'm all for getting it to run again and at least be a yard driver that can be moved around with ease if needed.
Come on - it needs the "Kaiser" treatment! Thanks, and see you Saturday!
You know I like the Nash!

Yes on the Nash, please keep going on it.
What a great cartoon looking Grill on the Nash. Thanks for the weekday show.
I like that old Nash My dad had a 1950 Nash statesman in high school his brother-in-law always called it the upside down bathtub
The insanity is just one reason that I love this channel. Yes Scott, let’s make this a yard mover. 🍺👍
Great fun with a quick fix. Hunny Bunny is alot of fun!
Yay, my Thursday is now complete.
I can see others not wanting to repair that door. But I know with your skills and knowledge. That it would be so quick and easy for you.🤷
Thankyou Mr Scott. Highlight of my weeks and a good inspiration on my own junkers. I appreciate what you do
Ahhh! The Nash, built in my home state of Wisconsin! While I was never a fan of the "Airflyte" design, I liked their earlier models. Glad to see your giving her some attention.

Definitely a worthy candidate for your living museum... would be nice to see it join the 'runner' club.

That poor Nash 🤦♂️ at least it's getting some love 👍 🍻 🚬
This is my favorite waste of time, I love the fact you still spend time tidying up terminal cars.
My favourite car you own.
The door bottom is an early prototype of “Astro Ventilation” . That poor orphan Nash is finally getting some love
I think it would be safe to say that you were the only person working on a Nash Ambassador today on Gods earth, congratulations 👍
Scott's so pretty !! 🤣🤣 Getting that Nash running and driving just a little would be a huge win.
when I was born, I came home from the Hospital in one of those,,,,,it was later traded for a 57 Buick Super...
You are probably the only person on the planet who is restoring a 1953 Nash Ambassador. What a cool car!
Looking forward to getting my calendar. Cheers ❤👍😎✌️

Amelia Island, No----------a "go drive it to pick up supplies"----Sure. Nice old survivor car; thanks for sharing.
HB has an adorable giggle. ;-)
Definitely a cool old car. Too bad it's in such rough shape, but I am sure it will be a fun yard driver if you can get it running. Cheers!
We will see you on Saturday Scott. Good idea to put the best parts on 1 Nash.
Likely a fair amount of uncalled for language to go with that time as well I'm guessing. I am really looking forward to getting the calendar. Cheers!

I think the your Nash paint color is Willow Green and the parts Nash is Village Green( per eBay color chart) 😁
Those Nash's were so cool looking. Ahead of their time in styling.

Excellent show, as always - see you all, Saturday!

Scott. Love that Nash. Yes, make it presentable I'm all for it.
Cheers from Wisconsin
I like those old Nashes. They have that art deco look to them
Oh, hello to your sister, Laura, best wishes with the continuation of work on her cabin!!!! I hope she can get it closed up before winter sets in???
