On "My Car Story" we're in Lake Geneva WI on 11-2-21.
We're looking at a 1952 Nash Rambler Country Club Hardtop in Forest & Willow Green Paint. The car comes with the factory straight 6 cylinder engine.
The car's Owner is Dennis Roxworthy. Dennis’s had this car since 2011. He shares he likes this one because it’s very rare. This one looks “showroom” new.
ENJOY! - Авто та транспорт

Appreciate digging in to the details of these amazing cars
@@davidpistek6241 I LUV this cupcake!!!
Dennis has a wide variety of vehicles.
You're right.
Well theres no way of mistaking that car for anything other than a Nash! Very cool.
Hi Mark M, You're right, a very distinctive car, Lou
When I was kid, hated these cars. Now that I'm old, I love them! Thanks Lou!
Right now I hate priuses, and when I’m old I’ll still hate priuses. You grew up with a lot cooler cars.
There were quite a few cars i hated when they came out but would do embarrassing as well as unimaginable things to own one now.
@@rudolphguarnacci197 Like most young American boys, I liked fast cars and expensive cars. I didn't like my grandparents '55 Buick 4-door or my aunt BB's '55 Chevrolet pink and gray 4 door. She traded that for a '63 Chevrolet Corvair!
Hi C Howard, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age. You're welcome, Lou
Me too. I thought Nashes were for dorks. Now I see it as a unique old car with many cool features.
1952 Nash Rambler Series 10 Country Club with production of 25,785 units. Base price of this model was $2,094 with 82 Horsepower, a 100-inch wheelbase, and a 176-inch overall length (about the size of a Chevrolet Sonic). For comparison a 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop was about $100 cheaper, much bigger in size, and had three times more sales. The last of this body style was sold in 1955 as both a Nash and Hudson. For the recession plagued 1958 model year, American Motors resurrected this car as the Rambler American...with simplified trim, a 2-Door Sedan body style (later a wagon and 4-Door), and with redesigned front fenders exposing the wheel.
Hi SpockvsMcCoy Kirk, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
WOW ! An adult Nash Metropolitan 😂 Seriously Dennis has a really good Rambler with all the correct accessories, brochures etc. Nash being part of the Kelvinator Corp, which explains the fridge type handles on the doors. A very rare car today, Dennis must be very proud to own this car.
Hi Derek, Happy to read "WOW!" :-) I agree, Dennis enjoys this car, Lou
Those Nash Ramblers were such unique little cars! They were so unusual. That example had a clean flathead 6 cylinder engine with a 3 on a tree behind it, providing it's power. A real cream puff indeed Lou!
As an option those cars could be ordered with GM Hydramatic automatic transmissions (at least on the Ambassador). I don't think that power steering or power brakes were available. They weren't heavy cars due to the use of unibody construction.
Hi Michael, "Those Nash Ramblers were such unique little cars!" I agree. My pleasure sharing this car with you :-) Lou
Nash was one of the first manufacturers to build cars using unibody "airflyte" construction and also had the "weather eye" heating and ventilation system. Later in the 1950s Nash merged with Hudson to form American Motors which continued to produce Rambler cars through most of the 1960s.
Hi Murray1575, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge., Lou
Just perfect! So cool! Tom Mc Cahill was a legend and the very best!
Hi Craig, High praise :-) Lou
Amazing how a car that was once thought of as an ugly duckling is now, 70 years later, a beauty. I love the simplicity of this car, especially the engine!
As always, thank you Lou for presenting another incredible My Car Story 👍
Hi Mike YQR, Cars have an amazing way of getting better looking with age. My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
I love Nashes so much. And that color is perfect. Beautiful gem.
Hi Johan, Happy to read you enjoy this "Beautiful gem" :-) Lou
Great car!

My Mom had a 53 in red with a black top. She drove it for over 10 years and loved it! She said it was the best car she ever had. Talked about it up til the end of her life. Says a lot for the car since she was an Oldsmobile person. 😊

Lou, thank you for replying. Sir, I subscribed to your channel over a year ago and enjoyed all of your posts! 😊
In '65, my dad bought a '51 Rambler hardtop from a buddy who worked at AMC. He paid $10 for the car. It had been sitting in the guy's garage for over 8 years untouched in the old 'hood, Southwest side of Detroit. We had to push the Nash out of the garage and with a new 6 volt battery, some starting fluid and just cleaning the points and plugs, it fired right up. Dad then proceeded to restore it with new brakes, tires, shocks and exterior paint. The interior was in mint condition, the radio and heater worked. It was a blast to drive and was surprisingly comfortable and smooth riding on the highway. Great memory of a unique car.

What a discovery tremendous story such a shame they didn’t survive the market cut. But this is what car collecting is all about saving our history.
Great story Lou.
Hi David, I agree, this car is a nice historical piece of automotive history. Thank you for viewing and sharing. Lou
My very first car that I owned was a 1961 4 door Nash Rambler. It being my first car, needless to say, I really loved that car. I remember taking it to the autocar wash & then putting on. what could have been the last coat of wax on it. Best $100.00 I veer spent. I'm sure Dennis spent a few $ more on this beauty. My next love would be the NASH METROPOLITAN, that simple but functionable dash was just so KOOL/lol.
Hi Robert, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
no rattles or squeaks, smooth, Nash made a great car! Nash was really an innovator, first practical a/c, unibody construction, European design...they were under-appreciated in their time.

They had some great features back then the auto manufacturers had to be more competitive with each other lot more choices back than it's was very different glad to see one again
Hi Larry, Happy to read the details you enjoy of this car :-) Lou
That is fabulous!! Those 50's Nash's and Ramblers always stood out because the styling was so....different. And speaking of different, I have never seen a radio like this one. Thanks for showing it. It's another one of those cars you just never see.
Hi JWelchon, High praise :-) Glad to share this rarely seen car today. You're welcome, Lou
Very nice Nash - thanks Dennis and Lou!
You are right Lou, there is a lot going on in the front of this, talk about a different era.
This car is a great example of the variety on the channel.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy this "Very nice Nash" :-) Glad you enjoy the selection and variety of cars I like to share with you. You're welcome, Lou
In the late 1950s, then AMC, desperately needed a smaller affordable car. But they couldn't afford to bring out a new model. In a brilliant move, they realized that they still had the stampings from the Nash Country Club, here in the video. They modified the front fenders into having wheel openings, and along with some other inexpensive changes, brought out the Rambler American. They sold well and helped AMC through a rough patch.
Hi discerningmind, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Just makes you smile as it's rolling down the road
You're right :-)
Our family moved to St Louis Mo from 1954 to 59 and the Nash Rambler Country Club was the car we had. Dad collected us off the Cunard RMS Ivernia which docked in Montreal and we drove to Ottawa to see and stay with some of his uni friends, then to St Louis via Niagara. We had 14 pieces of baggage - and he bought a one wheel trailer and a roof rack. We travelled widely... New Orleans, Florida, Colorado were big expeditions. And many times to the beautiful Ozark lakes. We sailed back from New York on the Ile de France. Our drive there took us over the Allegheny Mountains on dirt roads. When we were in the middle of nowhere the petrol tank was punctured, probably by a stone. We stopped at a one pump garage and the disheveled proporietor came out, took a look at the problem and disappeared for a while. What was going on - was he going to shoot us? He never uttered a word and was kneading away at something in his hand - it was a piece of that soft soap they used to sell. In a few minutes he got under the car - no lift of course - and started pushing the soap into the hole. He squidged it in and then finished off the surface, filled us up and we were on our way. The soap bar never leaked and stayed in the tank for a year, when Dad went back to St Louis for his final year (a prof at Washingon University) and got him back to New York and the car to the scrao yard.
Many thanks for the memories of the car which gave us such fun. The one thing you didn't mention was the pillarless door - with both windows down there was a huge space for a breeze. Funnily enough I remember so much about it, the funny air intakes on the side, the way the wheels were enclosed. It was by far the best radio we had, and Dad spent time listening to the news which at the time was quite scarey, with the Cuban missle crisis and the threat of nuclear war which of course had occurred only a decade earlier. Our friends thought us mad (which we probably were) but Dad was not afraid of funny vehicles. When we left for America he sold the 1935 Morris 8, wire wheels and a luggage rack and also a Morgan 'Family Four' three wheeler with a JAP engine and a back seat for my sister and I which was all of 2 ft wide.

Hi trainroomgary, Happy to read you think this car is "very cool" :-) Cheers, Lou
Lou never sleep,thx so much.
Ok. You're welcome.
I am old enough to remember these cars, but this is not one from the famous "beep, beep" songs where a Little Nash Rambler chases a Cadillac. Not with 82 Hp, you don't. A neighbor had this car and had to climb a slight hill; to climb it, he had to gather speed over the last few yards before the rise. If he failed to get the required rate, he would have to back up and do it all over again! But I enjoyed looking at Nashes, and we did have a bigger one in someone's backyard where ALL THE SEATS folded down. It was an excellent place for us kids to play! Thank you, Lou, for finding this one!
Felicita a su dueño por la conservación a nuevo de su auto ,eran autos especiales ,yo amaba los Ambassador,
Hi Jed, Happy to read this car brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
You're really doing us a service featuring these Nash cars Mr. Costabile. Reminders of a bygone era when the domestic car industry was less centralized into three super powers, and there were more manufacturers who dared to stray from the pack to make something really unique. I love seeing these little Nashes and hearing all the little stories about them. The cars from Nash's last days as a independent company were really interesting.
Hi Crazycar 401, My pleasure sharing with you. Glad to read you enjoy this story, Lou
That turn signal lol 🤣 I love it
:-)
What another great beauty. I'm only 21 but I love seeing old classics like this. It's funny when I go to car shows with my friends. They always split off checking out the newest charger/challenger or camaro but ill just be gawking at a old 69 chevy nova completely restored, drooling😅
Hi Austen, I think you're on the right Channel for you :-) Glad you're along for the ride, Lou

I remember the '52 Nash Rambler very well, and back in the day, I never heard anyone refer to it a "cute". People usually called them "bath-tub" Ramblers. A typical Rambler buyer back then would wear both a belt and suspenders, and his top shirt button was buttoned, even though he wasn't wearing a tie. Ten years later, when I was in high school, a teenager would rather walk than own a Rambler.
Hi oldgysgt, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the "bath-tub" car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I remember how we used to laugh at these cars when we were kids...now they are a treat to see them...remember "The Playmates" and their song "Beep-Beep"?
Thanks for showing us this treasure, Lou.
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy this "treasure" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Thanks for the ride in the 1952 Nash Rambler Country Club. A nice car with the best 90 degree door opening angle, ample inside space, and ahead of its time reclining seats. Great family car and strong enough to be an enjoyable taxi cab. The horn sound wakes up everybody! Congratulations to its owner.
Hi Juan, Glad to share the ride with you :-) Lou
What a stylish car they were..made in the yr i was born..remember several of them along with the Nash Metropolitan..very unique cars those Ramblers..thanks Lou for featuring it..beautiful car!
Hi David, Nice to read you and this car share the same birth year. My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
When I see this car all I can think of is that song the little Nash Rambler goes beep,beep,beep. I don't think a Nash Rambler can do 127mph and pass a Caddy. Nice car and great video
Hi Elizabeth, Nice :-) I don't think this car can go that fast either, Lou
Awesome Car the towing company that I worked for was originally a Nash Rambler dealer. We used to talk about how reliable these cars really were and their cutting edge design. Of course if you had a daughter back then they were not seen as nice girls if they’re boyfriend had a Nash!! Lol Great Videos Thank You 🙏 Lou!!!
Hi Big Mountain, Happy to read "Awesome Car" :-) Glad you're enjoying the cars with me. You're welcome, Lou
Absolutely one of the quirkiest vehicles ever. A blinker signal that blinks!

Hi David, Happy to read the details of this car you enjoy, Lou
The hood ornament is so cool 👍
Happy to read the details you enjoy :-)
I absolutely 💘 and appreciate these unique automobiles. They were simple and were for pragmatic drivers. And the two tone colors of the fifties were beautiful. They were reliable and got good fuel economy. I own a two tone 65 Rambler 990 Ambassador convertible with a power top, power steering, power windows, factory a/c and a 270 h.p. 327 and it turns heads. I love seeing these Nashes and Ramblers and other AMC cars out on the road or at car shows. Thank you Lou for finding and showing us all of these beautiful cars. I really appreciate what you do.
Hi James, Happy to read "I absolutely 💘 and appreciate these unique automobiles" :-) I enjoy your comment, Lou
As soon as Dennis started his Nash Rambler, I know where Car-X got their "Thunder, thunder, clatter, clatter, boom, boom, boom!" theme song from. This car also reminded me of the "Beep Beep - Little Nash Rambler" song by the Playmates in 1958 where the Nash Rambler driver passed a Caddy while stuck in second gear. What a fun car!
Hi Gary, Happy to share this "fun car!" with you :-) Lou
Thanks Lou. Anything Nash, Studebaker, Hudson, Kaiser / Fraser or outside of the big three wheelhouse, is much appreciated. I knew I would be in love with cars from an early age. I can’t remember what I did yesterday. But I do remember when I was 3 years old visiting my Grandmother in Tucson. We were walking on the side walk in front of a Buick dealership. Being head high to those beautiful 58” grills one after another with those chrome squares all up in that massive grill. Wow! Back in those days? Those weren’t just cars. They were works of art! Better than a pretty girl! Well may be not. But? Awesome job young man! jj

Its like a time machine , thank you Lou for presentation. Greetings from Germany
Greeting MyOldi, You're right, we're right back to 1952 :-) Lou
Anytime I see a Nash of this vintage, I have an immediate flashback to Inspector Henderson's police car in the 1950's Superman television series. It was quite impressive. Glad to see this gentleman has taken this one in. The last Nash's I saw in person was 35 years ago at a collector's home in Orbisonia, PA who had about 100 Nash's and Hudsons in large out buildings. He really loved these automobiles.
Hi BillyLapTop, Happy to see this one brings back memories of Superman TV show. 100 cars! Sounds like LOTS of "My Car Story with Lou" episodes :-) Lou
The larger Nash cars really were popular with police departments.
Kelvinator fridge handle and the body kind of resembles a 50's fridge....makes sense. Great video Lou.
Hi Mike, Happy to read the details you enjoy. Appreciate the kind words on the video :-) Lou
Impresionante este Nash Rambler 1952! Tiene algunos detalles muy curiosos como el adorno frontal cromado de una mujer en forma de avión, o la luz incorporada en la palanca de guías... Eso sí, no sé como no te quedaste sordo cuando hiciste activar el claxo sin la capota. ¡Porque hasta a mí me hizo saltar desde acá! jaja. ¡Excelente video y saludos!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read the details you notice :-) That horn made you jump...that's what it's meant to do. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I remember the 1958 song by rhe Playmates, where this car beat a Cadillac while beeping his horn!
Minor fact: "Airflyte" referred to the styling, which was rumored to be at least in part, by Pininfarina. That excellent ventilation system was called the "Weather Eye "

My best friends dad bought a 1951 Rambler, the one where the top rolled on to a drum in the trunk. After three miserable months dealing with the thing’s inability to start in damp weather, he traded it for a 1949 Buick Super convertible. It may have used more gas, but at least it started.

autos had in this era?
Hi Rob, Happy to share this "Green Queen" with you :-) Lou
Cute as a cupcake and two tone green! I love it!
Happy to read "I love it!" :-)
Love when you nail it on the head for me Lou! I love 49-54 cars. They were a bit stodgy, but always so well made. Like little tanks. I love the bathtub Nashes too. They were smooth running cars, but I heard what really hurt them was they weren't cheap. Once '55 came in, it was tough to compete with the big-three.
Happy to read this one nailed it Joseph :-)
great car and color .
Happy to read you enjoy this "great car" :-)
I love the car. My dad had a few Nash cars in the 1960s. He was fond of them. I had a friend years ago whose dad was, I believe a Nash salesman. This friend had a promotional Viewmaster slide set of the Nash complete with a picture of the folded-down seat that made into a bed. I always wanted those view Master slides but never was able to get them. Also Nash advertised the engine that didn't need an intake or exhaust manifold. The exhaust pipe just clamps to the engine and the carburetor mounts right on the head. Thanks for showing this interesting video!

Lou, gr8 [and unusual] feature as usual. Highest Kudos to Dennis for the absolute impeccable condition of that Nash! Those cars were extremely well engineered and very innovative - ventilation system being one - coming from the Kelvinator background. The house of Pinin Farina was under contract with Nash '52-'54 and was responsible as well for the design of the famous Nash-Healey sports car. Speaking of styling...at the very least controversial, which as we know Nash-Hudson morphed into American Motors and the tradition of bold and controversial styling remained right up to the end of AMC! And, so did many of the engineering features as well. Trunkin'-Treats and ownership knowledge soooo contribute to your overall presentations! Darn good stuff!

Hi Jimmy, Happy to read you enjoy this "cool little car" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Nash's "Weather Eye" flow through ventilation @3:04 is the integrated system that is used on virtually every modern car today. Other brands' Heaters were installed in the cabin (under the dash or the front seats) with A/C units in the trunk. The "Airflyte" call-out on the trunk was actually what Nash called their aerodynamic unitized body style with the enclosed wheels wells...

Thank you for sharing the details you noticed.
That same NASH corporation dabbled in several different enterprises. I think they partnered up with the Kelvinator folks and produced washing machines and refrigerators. I'm fairly certain my family owned a Nash washing machine, the old ringer type. Just picking my own memory and I can place the Nash/Kelvinator group back to the 1930's possibly earlier.

look at her go.. she is a show stopper! Rambler!

My grandfather used to drive a red Nash Statesmen 4 door sedan. I remember the fold down seats and the green blinker on the end of the turn signal stalk. I thought it was a bit bizarre at the time.

The hood ornament used to give you a point of reference to line the car up in its lane.Cute but these remind me of the bumper cars @ the amusement park.The pastel colors r very period correct.
Hi Richard, I can see why you would say the car looks like the bumper cars at the amusement park, Lou
I see some old names like Jetfire that Oldsmobile used later and Ambassador when AMC Took over love the brochures 👍

Great nash
Nice :-)
Question for Dennis: "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" BTW, the only 3 on the tree car I ever owned was a ragged out 1965 Impala with a 6 cylinder engine. By the time it came to me for a daily commuter it was ugly as could be but it got GREAT gas millage!
I had a Coronet 68..three in the column..slant engine.oh that were real cars.
Hi Beast 1624, He loves his toys :-) Glad to read this one brings memories of your 1965 Impala. Lou
Airflyte referred to the design of their bodies. Their ventilation system was called Weather Eye.

My dad had a Rambler
I remember the fold down seats
Very practical comfy lots of room
Remember the "click/clack" of each shift into gear sound and the whine of the tyranny and rear end
Which was all normal of cars back then
An the simple seemingly not quite in tune AM radio station from far far away
Watching the fireflies float by in the blackness of the night
As the dim head lights led the way to that always very distant destination

My wife and I were traveling on the highway in upstate NY today & I saw what I believe was one of these cars, or one very similar. But it was just a rusty body with no ornaments, no interior, no top- being hauled on a flatbed truck.
