The End of an era |

pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought , what a nice idea. I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected. I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps for some time now and I first wrote a web page on the Studebaker. Then one on Jeeps and Packard followed. Now I thought I would try a web page on the Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson. Essex and Terrplanes of Australia , Volkswagen , Kaiser and Henry J and now I with the help of one of my visitors have written on on the Crosley These pictures came for a number of sources including web pages of the manufacture, news groups and my own. Since most of these pictures came from news groups there may be a chance that your car is shown here. I would like to invite any one
that has a favorite

A Brief History of American Motors
| American Motors was in the beginning
stages back in 1878 when Thomas B. Jeffrey built and sold Rambler bicycles
in Chicago. He was the first of the three key players of the companies
that created American Motors in 1954.
The other two were Charles Nash and Joseph L. Hudson. Charles Nash started Nash Motors
in 1916
Thomas B. Jeffrey built and sold
Rambler bicycles in Chicago from 1878 to 1900. He was one of America's
first men interested in automobiles in the late 19th century, and in 1897,
he built himself a motorcar.
The Hudson Motor Car Company,
founded in 1909 and building its first cars in 1910, when Joseph L. Hudson
and seven business associates began producing a motorcar called the Hudson.
During the Second World War both
Nash and Hudson were busy in the nation's defense effort. It wasn't until
1948 and 1949 that Hudson and Nash brought out new designs. Hudson's famous
"step-down" unibody and big-bore Six made their appearance in 1948. Nash
brought out its "Airflyte" models the next year.
The names Hudson and Nash finally
disappeared in 1957.
In the very early sixties, AMC
started having its cars assembled in foreign plants - New Zealand and Australia,
the Middle East, South America, Mexico, South Africa and Belgium all had
AMC-assembling plants, and the Taiwanese Police were even outfitted with
Ramblers.

Before you begin I want to mention that I have
been told that some
of the pictures on my pages aren't loading
properly.
If this should happen to you just right click
on the area where
the picture is supposed to be and select "Show
Picture".
I have been told by the support team of my
hosting service that this problem
is a fault of MSIE and that we will have to
live with it.

American Motors was born in 1954
The Nash and Hudson names were
still used until 1957
The Hudson's produced after
1954 were just a fancy Nash
or as they were called the Hash

| This car belongs to Matt and
Valeri Wilson of
Uniontown Pa. To view a history of their car go to http://www.joiesjeeps.com/memberspages/mattwilson.html Matt just informed me that this car will be on display at the Quaker Steak and Lube restaurant in Charleston WV. He was honored to be asked to display the car in such a nice restaurant. He is very proud to have this SC parked on a hoist where only Chevys and Fords have been honored. AMC is on top for awhile as the SC will be there for winter. See all the photos at www.joiesjeeps.com |
This picture is also of Matt and Valeri's car but it is a painting done by Danny Whitfield http://www.dannywhitfield.com/scrambler.html | ||
