Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / October 2006Nash Rambler
Was listening to the '50s channel on XM rdio yesterday. Song played about a Nash Rambler overtaking a cadillac at 120mph. The driver of the Rambler leans out and says, "hey buddy how do I get this car out of second gear"? I vaguely remember that there might have been such a car some time ago, the NAsh that is. Anybody knows this car? owned one? Which of the major car companies made it? what years ? ESTG/ > Was listening to the '50s channel on XM rdio yesterday.

I didn't realize there were so many models when you search Nash Rambler. When I was young, there was one parked across the street. This thing was probably slightly larger than the orginal Honda Civic. After all the song does say Little Nash Rambler. http://zekfrivolous.com/misc/1954-nash-metro.jpg greg When I was a kid i bought 2 '68 ramblers for 45 bucks and made one car out of them. It's still running. It was slower than the speed of smell but rund forever. It had a straight six I believe. It was a stabbin' wagon! The front seats layed right into the back forming a perfect little "bed" Chad > >> http://tinyurl.com/ymoobe > >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > greg Chad Wahls Wrote: > It was a stabbin' wagon!

Who were you stabbing? and I suppose you used the "bed" to help hide the stabbed? or do you mean shaggin wagon?

Those reclining seats I seem to recall. The best was a 1967 model with a 327 engine. Oh that reminds me of my friends 1967 Shelby GT-500. Rode to school a couple times before it was stolen. Then there was the 1969 AMC AMX I rode in back in 1969, and my other friends 1969 GTX, and the 1969 427 Vette, I think i better quit, and all I had in 1969 was a 1963 Fairlane, big back seat, 2 door.. I have to ride home in my Cavalier. greg >Chad > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> greg > Anybody knows this car? owned one?
