I remember when Studebaker came out with their "revolutionary new
design" in the early 50's. Everyone joked that you couldn't tell if
it was coming or going. Both ends looked pretty much the same. My
older cousin had one but we didn't go fishing in it. He didn't fish
and my fishing was limited to the hand-line in my hip pocket.

these too..And, to make it fishing related, he DID take us fishing
all the time in that car.. We used to crappie fish at the dead end
bridge at the river with live minnows, and He cut his own cane
poles and dried, burned (or whatever you call that heat treatment)
varnished them himself cause we used about 16-20 ft poles.. Man,
we'd be going down the road in that car with 19 cane poles sticking
wayyyyyyyyyyy out the back window LOL..He bought about 25 cans of
spray paint and we painted it sky blue halfway down and nay on the
top hale to make it two toned... It wasa beautiful car... Those
were great days..Chuck

NEAT!
I never had a Nash, but I had a '47 Frazier when I was in college.
It was a very odd color - kind orange-ish brown. My older brother
dubbed it "Baby-s**t Brown". Ran like a top.
It was the only car I ever had stolen. :-(
