Re: [AMC-list] Nash Truck



That could be the one, but Leonard's still has writing on the doors and I don't think it was out of Harrisonburg. It would not surprise me if Leonard actually had two, he has 300 or so cars stashed in a series of sheds.

You might be referring to a Nash tow truck that was owned by Shenandoah Transportation in Harrisonburg, VA for almost fifty years. I used to go by there to visit the old man who owned the place. He passed away in the nineties, and his wife and family set up an auction to close the business out. He had Ramblers and AMC's of all vintages right into the mid to late nineties sitting on his lot and inside his building.
He also had a treasure-trove of AMC parts in the parts department 
basement; as I understood it, just about everything was taken to the 
county dump.
I rummaged through his stuff a couple of times whle he was still 
around.  In the late eighties, I bought a brand new rimblow steering 
wheel for my 70 AMX; in the early eighties I bought a pair of NOS 
quarters for a 67 Marlin (which I resold at a car show) and a pair 
of quarters for an AMX I was working on.  I even found a bunch of 
internal transmission parts I needed to rebuild my 68 T-10.  He has 
some amazing stuff downstairs.  The back lot was awesome 
too.  Marlins, Javelins, Classics, Ambassadors, verts, you name it 
-- he had it; right into the nineties.
Anyway, I'd heard that the tow truck went to MD after the auction, 
but I'm not certain.
