    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Ajax was a low priced companion car to Nash and was later renamed the Nash Light Six. It was a six cylinder car on a 108" wheelbase selling just above the low priced 4 cylinder cars like Chevrolet and Dodge. Then they had the larger more powerful 112" wheelbase Special Six and top of the range...

    Could it be the smaller model had 5 bolt wheels and the larger model 6? The Advanced Six photo I gave has 6 bolt wheels.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Charles Nash was head of the Buick company before he left to strike out on his own. He bought the Jeffery car company and renamed it Nash. His cars did resemble Buicks including the overhead valve engines. Later straight eight Nash Ambassadors were larger and quite expensive. But Nash also made...

    Treating leather jacket

    I have a good black leather jacket about 10 years old I wear every day when weather is suitable. Just had new zipper and pockets installed. Wonder if I should do anything to treat or preserve the leather. What do you guys do?

    I was going to say 1926 Nash Advanced Six but David Conwill beat me to it.

    A book by Somerset Maugham published in 1940 giving his impressions of the outbreak of WW2 from his experiences in Italy, France, and England. Some very interesting insights by someone of no particular political or military bent. I'm sorry I don't remember the title and am surprised I can't...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Does anyone remember dining out on a story? This was a common theme in English novels of long ago. If someone had an interesting anecdote or personal experience to tell, it might be said of him "he dined out on that story for years". I took it that meant when a hostess was putting together a...

    How is teacore done? Can you do it at home?

    Years ago I bought a red leather briefcase at a thrift store. I didn't like the color so I bought some black leather dye from a shoe store and dyed it. It took several years but the black dye wore off in spots just as you describe. It was called Feibing's Leather Dye for dying leather shoes...

    Philosophical: What is real "home(land)"?

    This is home. This is where my grandfather's bones are buried. I don't particularly like the ******** place especially on a below zero February night when it's snowing sideways. But it's home.

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My favorite brand of frozen orange juice was Old South, you can't get it around here anymore. I tried all the brands and it was the best. I have had guests mistake it for fresh squeezed. Does anyone else remember Old South orange juice from 25 years ago?

    Nazi Plane Tailfin

    Re camouflage and repaints. I have it from an old book about the VW Kubelwagen that the army furnished paint in the form of bricks of pigment, red green and possibly other colors, that were to be dissolved in gasoline to make paint. This paint was used to make camouflage paint jobs in the...

    I doubt they ever heard of a Studillac and even when the book was first published few people knew what one was. Perhaps they thought it was made up for the book but it wasn't. The Studillac was the brain child of Bill Frick a garage proprietor and hot rodder from Long Island. His inspiration...

    Films and shows that COULD NEVER Be Made Today!

    I take issue with the idea that The Beverley Hillbillies could not be made today. Unless it was because they couldn't make a show of such high quality. Go watch a few episodes. They never belittled the Clampetts. They had their own ideas and their own moral code, and they usually came off...

    As a Canadian I get a kick out of this video of Irish people trying Canadian desserts for the first time. Let me know what you think, is it as funny as I think it is?
