I owned a 1953 Nash Ambassadore Country Club. Not only a fine machine but also great for the high school dates

There’s always someone who doesn’t have a clue about what great cars AMCs were. I invite “Las Vegas Guy” to come up to the AMC National Convention in Reno-Sparks, NV, on June 21-23 this year to see what I mean. I own my 3rd Javelin and am looking for a ’74 Gremlin.

I kind of like it. On a side note I was born in 1953

“Well, officer, we were lost and stopping in this dark alley to check the map.”

I think there was a kit available for early Saabs that accomplished the same thing, but I’ve never seen any pictures of it in action.

They made teenagers happy in the ’60s as well, when they were used cars that we could afford to buy for ourselves. It was a great date car, especially for drive-ins and parking in isolated places. (Not that I would have ever done such a thing, of course…)

They should have called this car the “Gnash”. It eventuall became known as the Nash Rambler and the company became American Motors which gave us The Gremlin, The Javelin, and The Metropolitan

Or it could just be that they didn’t want to be seen in a car that looks like a box of rolled oats.

Rose – well, that would certainly save a lot of time and bother. “You’ll come for a ride in my Nash? Excellent…”

I’ve heard that in the 50′s, girls who cared about their reputations wouldn’t date guys who drove this, and similar, cars.

Or motion lines, if this was a Bulgemobile piece. “The Sleeperific Auto Pilot option whisks you along the biways and highways in total comfort.”

That last picture would have featured the Wolfman, if this was Mad Magazine.
