Reply to "Merry Christmas from O Scale Motor Vehicle Chronicle Dec 19"

Lee:  Thanx for the posting.  I like what you did to the Buick;  looks good.  On the other hand, I have always been a Nash fan, coming from Milwaukee as I have.  since I was an early teenager, I have always admired the 1948 Nash Ambassador convertible.   Also, knowing that I could never afford one, then or now.  They only built 300 of them and I wonder if 10 are still in existence.   I'd also like to find a '49 or '50 "bathtub" Nash in 1/43 to really add variety to the layout.

 

But the Nash Healey really hits a strong note with me.  One of my friends owned one and I got to drive it, perhaps 35 years ago.  I thought it was a really neat car.  Of course it didn't have the refinements of a  Jaguar XL120 of it's day;  The Nash had only a three speed transmission with the Borg Warner overdrive, but I still thought it was a pretty hot car.  Of course, the V-8 era of Corvettes, etc. came on and little six cylinder motors were left in the dust.
