Nash Airflytes weren’t exactly paragons of visibility, but this customized ’51 takes that to new lows. Too bad they didn’t fill in the rear window, and add a dorsal fin. Bonus points if you can identify what car gave its bumper to the Nash. Posted at the Cohort by canadiancatgreen.
If they hadn’t removed those windows I would like it. I wonder if they installed an aftermarket backup camera?
Didn’t the Nashs have backseats that could be turned into beds? Perhaps that’s the reason for the lack of windows? o_O
HA! Actually, the front seat reclined and made a bed in combination with the rear beginning in 1949….
Well…at least you wouldn’t have to wait for the windows to steam up… 🙂
Actually, it looks to me like a stock bumper painted matte black. ’59 Caddy taillights, though.
I’m not going to try and identify the bumper, because I think maybe it would look better without it.
Either way I’d sure hate to absent mindedly ride my bicycle into those caddy taillights..
It looks to me a little like an American Tatra, only without the rear engine.
Or maybe the Ambassador Panel Delivery? 🙂
Somehow I can’t imagine Czech gearheads doing this to a Tatra.
I feel like I should hate this car but I love it. It has such an industrial look to it. Just the sort of car that Buck Rogers might drive on the moon. Painted olive drab it would look like a secret weapon. Someone has quite an imagination and also the talent to back it up.
Welding up the back door and removing the handle would have made a big difference. How about a rear fin and cooling vents too?
Much better!
Very cool. I’m curious about what would be under the hood. I wouldn’t be surprised if Russian gear heads have done similar things to an old GAZ M-20 Pobeda.
this car was quite odd to me it was in fact one I had to do research on later was rather surprised to see it was actually a Nash not a Mopar as it was a Mopar show however Mopar related cars were allowed in it including AMCs and related cars and a rather interesting surprise a Jensen with a Mopar motor apparently
If the Jensen in question was an Interceptor, I think those were all Mopar-powered. 383 for the early cars, 440 for the later ones.
Wasn’t Mopar V8 power optional on the FF as well?
Is the rear bumper a reworked *front* bumper from something like a 1954-55 Cadillac?
Bizzare, yet kinda cool in its own way. Looks like something from a `50s science fiction film.
Wow, that’s unusual… But I really like it – kudos to the owner for doing something different!
