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.

[@Mr1963corvette]

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.

[@loucostabile]

Hi James, Happy to read "I absolutely 💘 and appreciate these unique automobiles" :-) I enjoy your comment, Lou

[@MAGronemeyer]

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!

[@1575murray]

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

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.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Juan, Glad to share the ride with you :-) Lou

[@1575murray]

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.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Murray1575, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge., Lou

[@farmideas]

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.

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.

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!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Gary, Happy to share this "fun car!" with you :-) Lou

[@oldgysgt]

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.

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.

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...

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.

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!

Besides the Dukes of Hazzard, I wonder if Evel Knievel also got the idea of jumping buses from this brochure! I noticed how nicely the green tint of the glass blends in with the Willow Green paint, and the flying lady on the hood reminds me of seeing Kate Winslet at the bow of the Titanic. BTW, I've heard if you drove a Nash back in the day, your date's father wouldn't let you go out with her! Also, it wasn't just Nash that made refrigerators (Kelvinators).

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 :-)

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 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.

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.

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!!!

[@loucostabile]

[@loucostabile]

[@robertvance1873]

@@loucostabile Yes Sir I definitely do.

[@richardmorris7063]

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.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Richard, I can see why you would say the car looks like the bumper cars at the amusement park, Lou

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Ironic it was called cupcake cute, when I saw the "ad" for the video, I thought cute!! It IS cute and and really neat little nerd mobile. Was probably a darn good car too.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeffrey, Thank you for sharing you think this car is cute too :-) Lou

[@philhotchkin8269]

That’s the car that was in the garage of a rental house of his that I carpeted a few years ago. He gave me the dime tour of it and most of his collection.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Phil, Happy to read you recognize this one :-) Lou

[@terribelbliss9646]

Hi Lou, I like these car, they were an especially good value when you consider how well equipped they were and… styled by Pinin Farina to boot, wow! Dennis’ car collection is amazing and he’s a fun guy to be with too. Thanks for sharing. 👍😉

[@loucostabile]

Hi Terri, Happy to read this is a car you like :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@robgrear1142]

Ahhhh, another “Green Queen” for me to enjoy! This car has character and style. I always wondered how the front tires could turn with the front fender skirts Nash autos had in this era?

[@loucostabile]

Hi Rob, Happy to share this "Green Queen" with you :-) Lou

[@philipdrake6]

Realy nice, we had some Rambler in Aus. but i think they were 1960s models.👍👍.

[@loucostabile]

[@alvincash3230]

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.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Alvin, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car you saw on the flatbed truck :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@fubarmodelyard1392]
