    I have been seeing an old Nomad around here for years... So I stopped at the guys work today an harassed him about it. He is a wagon lover like ourselves. He has 2 Nashes in the back as well. Of course I took pics. I am going to keep in contact with him so we can get a better time when he has more time to talk about his wagons. What I do know is that he tried to buy the Nomad back in '71 but could but his friend did and then he bought it from his friend ten years later. The Nashes I know even less about. The blue and orange one I have seen before. His daughters got to drive them to school every day. Lucky $h!t$... Anyways, I also snapped a few pics of what else there is behind where he works.

    Enjoy!

    Nice find. The green car is a 59-60 Rambler, see R in grille, last Nash was made in 57, but Nash & Rambler models shared the body style from early 50 's up
    The other is a Nash as the grille badge suggest. 52-54:tiphat:

    This guy sure knows how to live. My grandfather bought his first new car, a Nash in 1949.

    Great photos Xavier. We've turned you into a true car guy! You don't have to own them to love them and look . Old cars of any kind are getting rare and they make this new stuff look like crap!
    Getting to know people like that may help you find what you are looking for also. Sometimes reasonable if they know you are really interested.(y)
    I want the 55 Nomad. Same 59 SS steering wheel I have in my wagon.
    His other junk ain't bad either.
