I knew right off that it was a Nash. I'm just clueless enough to be unable to determine it's vintage. Nice pics.

Unless I am mistaken, the "reality" show American Pickers....there is a car like that sitting out side of their business being used as their sign. Nash made some really "ugly" cars, but to those of us who love Nash designs, they are works of art.

I thought they were pretty cool looking. Wasnt that a Nash that Mr. Cunningham had in Happy Days? Dark green. The Fonz did a little work on the engine so Opie could win that race..
 
From my mine of irrelevant and useless information, Bill France, founder of NASCAR co-drove one of this particular model Nash in the first Carrera Pan Americana.....:kilroy:
 
It's interesting to note what we've learned about aerodynamics through the decades. As streamlined and strangely avantgarde the Nash seemed in it's day, it'd probably generate a lower drag coefficient if you turned the body shape around and cruised it in reverse.....

Like the Porsche 928.

(Except the 928 actually isn't better backwards - that was disproved. Don't now about the Nash :running:)

The Nash was steel. The 'cans' in video were steel. The donkeys are 'wild' and free ranging. So are the wild horses, sheep (loose), cattle (free ranging), deer, and higher up there are 'PUMAS' (well, Mountain Lions, actually). And Rangers riding horses and using hound dogs to chase Lions if they came down (which I heard but did not see).

Good old Mt Charleston. Hiked all over that wilderness, back in 1961-1964 when I was stationed at 'Angels's Peak' aka: '865th Radar Squadron' (Air Force, now deactivated-it's a teen rehab center now). I maintained a height finder radar that we used to track the X-15 with. They droped it close enough to see it from there (8,650 ft). Quite a sight-drop, then swoosh, gone and out of sight in 5 seconds. Amazing speed. Brings back a lot of memories. Snowed 6 months out of the year. Getting to work was an adventure. They provided a Greyhound bus with special low gear to get us up and down. But when you missed the bus... look out.

People go to Vegas and don't even know about Lee Canyon, or Mt Charleston ('The Mummy') or Angel's Peak. It's only 40 miles away, but a world of difference from the Casino atmosphere.
