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

I want to give a special to Magister

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. In 1900 Jeffrey bought a plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he planned to manufacture automobiles on a large scale. This plant is where the Rambler started its live. Jeffrey died in 1910, and his son Charles took over. Jeffrey had brought out a four-wheel-drive "Quad" truck in 1911, and this proved very popular with foreign governments for military use During World War I. 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.
J.L. Hudson died in 1912 and Roy D. Chapin headed the firm. He stayed with
Hudson until his death in 1936.
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,

| Grant Harrisonin Tauranga, New Zealand thought I might
like some pics of his (modified) 1937 Nash LaFayette 400 Grant had the
following to say about his car.
" It was a stripped ,rusted out, body sitting on its chassis, with flat front tires and no diff. The side valve 6cyl motor, gearbox and diff were totally stripped, and rusted, lying in different areas of the shed where I found the car approx 9 years ago. I have since rebuilt the Nash, fitting an independent front suspension, Chev V8 and auto, and 9" diff. The body is totally stock, I have made many items for this vehicle,eg running boards, grille, tail lights, bonnet sides. (Being 1 of 17 that I have heard exist in New Zealand, you just cant go and buy spare parts like Chev or Fords of the same age) I hope you don't mind a "hot rod" gracing your pages, At least its an old Nash (that the local vintage car club didnt want) still cruising the roads." |
I wanted to show what Nash and the other automobile
manufactures did during the second world war.
These 1941/45 Second World War ( United States involvement
) ads by Nash show their part in the war effort.
There are probably many younger
visitors to this site that don't realize the during this
period all passenger car production
stopped and all automobile manufactures
put their efforts into the production
of war materials.

Earl sold this car in 1970. At the time, it had 5000 miles on it. It had been repainted and a new top installed, but still had the original seat that was in fair condition. It was in perfect mechanical condition. . It was yellow and black. I don't know what body style it was called. The top was a material, but did not fold down. It had 21 inch wheels. |

| This car is owned by Sandra Rickards from Victoria, Australia
She believes there are not more than three of these cars on the road in Australia that she can establish. It was her parents car when she was born and they drove it up until about 1955 when the fan went through the radiator and her father just parked it. Lucky he did and kept it as long as he did only to give it to her which she has had for about 10 years. It was 5 years in the restoration stage and only back on the road for February 2009 some 80 years after manufacturer. |

| Ned Leuchtner ownes a vintage 1926 Mobil station
on old Route 66 12 miles west of Kingman Arizona. It is called "Cool Springs".
About 5 miles up the road there was a wrecked vehicle just off the side
of the road, that had sat there on the desert floor since 1940. We acquired
the remains of the vehicle and re-located it to the turnaround on the west
edge of our station grounds.
We have identified it as the 1935 Nash Aeroform. We have tourists and visitors come to our site from all over the world. We felt that this was a small but important part of motoring history. We want to display an identification plaque. A little history on Cool Springs.... It was
built in 1926 when they put in the Old Trails Highway across the Black
Mountains to Needles Calif. It was a last chance gas station before you
went across the mountains. This road is the original old Route 66. Up until
1953, it was the main route to Los Angeles. This tortuous stretch was bypassed
by Route 40.
