    The first car I remember my mom driving was a 1950 Nash Statesman. Somehow my dad found it sitting in the weeds in someone's backyard. I was about four at the time. I went with them as they took a logging chain and pulled the thing out. It was love at first sight. Only took me about forty years to own one of my own....

  • @chrisdrysdale4311
    @chrisdrysdale4311 8 років тому

    No way! For a while last year I had my eye on the Kijiji ad for this car...it really intrigued me. I thought it would look awesome slammed and painted something obnoxious, like lime gold or persimmon orange. I even did a little photoshop sketch to see how it could look when finished.
    This car would make an amazing and truly unique cruiser for an ambitious builder. It would make a great "mascot" car for a business. So glad you guys saved it, even if it is really rough.

    • @coldwarmotors
      @coldwarmotors  8 років тому

      Hey, thanks for the note, and for checking out the video... I knew I needed this car as soon as I saw the ad; it was the last independent brand my "abandoned used car lot" was missing...
      I just love this car; of all the cars in my row of heaps, this is the one I wish I could drive. I'll keep looking for a parts car to combine with this one so it could be saved. It's the top-of-the-line model, too, with tinted glass and all the best trim! Also, thanks for the kind words you posted on the Jalopnik forum; a friend saw the thread and forwarded it to me, so cheers for that!

  • @bruceortiz4085

    Owned a 54' Ambassador in the 60's, it was my Grandad's before. Ran fine, not dent or broken anything in it. Straight six, dual side draft carbs, three on the tree, "real" overdrive planetary transmission. Seats made a full bed. Weird starter switch on the clutch pedal. Continental wheel on the back. Wish I had it now, who knew?

    I think that '52 Nash will still run! in l990 I was selling cars at a buy-here pay-here lot in Denver. we took a '73 AMC Matador in trade. ugly as sin and almost no oil in it. there was a cold snap in late November. got down to -25. the only car on the lot that kicked right over was...the '73 Matador.

I went to look at a '64 Impala and it was about 20 degrees out, it was sitting the past 8 months with a dead battery, old oil, and bad plugs, started up immediately with a new battery and I bought it a few weeks later :D Love my '64 ss!

    In 1960 the family car was a Rambler Cross Country wagon. It was a pretty decent car. In '64 it was traded in for a Tempest custom with the 326. In '66 I got my learner's permit and finally flew solo the following year.
    Is that a carter YH underneath the snow?

    One more suggestion next time you buy tires get you some toyo Eclipse white walls definitely need white walls on that year. The Toyota Eclipse makes a maximum load range tire in a white wall that will handle the weight of a big vehicle and still makes a white wall for reasonable price.

    Would be great if you guys could get it running. I love the bathtub Nash's, there just isn't too many of them left. Watching for a new 'Will it run" with baited breath.

      SB Bohanga Yeah, I bet it would go, but looks like it would have to come completely apart... I am finishing 2 other "Will it Run" cars as we speak, though! Thanks for watching this stuff... cheers!

      Any progress on the Nash? I think a complete engine rebuild is warranted, if that's what it takes. ;)

    Just curious, what did you have to pay for this wonderful Nash.
