ImageI thought it was a Vauxhall when I saw it round the corner in to Rare Spares Adelaide car park this afternoon. But by the plates and boot badge it is a 1955 Nash sedan.

I really like the colour, which is why I took the shot.

Cheers
Clay

One of my favourite colours, Clay. Especially on a EJ/EH.

Did you get a look from the front? Pretty interesting grill, etc. A lot of them have the continental spare tyre hanging off the back, too.

Cheers,

John

I did John. Unusual with the headlights inboard.

The styling of the pillars suggests that Virgil Exner had some part in designing the car?

There's a few Exner era Studebaker styling queues in this design for sure!

Very nice. Changing a flat tire could be a challenge. The wheels would have to be well inboard so that they don’t rub on lock.
