Thanks!

Never even thought of a Nash.
They do look cool. Think my Dad traded that for a 55 Chevy.
(then went to Pontiacs)

They used to call those Nash's, bath tubs, because their obvious appearance if flipped upside down.

It's a Nash Country Club. That was what they called their non-post cars.

One of their features was that you could fold down the seats to make a bed and sleep in them while on a road trip.

Hudson & Packard had a similar body style, and the Lincolns' and Mercs had low silhouettes - with Hudson's being a Nascar winner that got many big name tacers their start with it's Twin-H power.
