On my way up to visit Ron Ackerman, I dropped in to U-Pull, they often have a few AMCs. Only two cars, a totally ruinated and picked-over Eagle (from which I got power-steering bracketry, headliner mount strip).
The other car was -- a 1953 Nash! After a double-take, I'm ogling it trying to figure out what year/model, this young kid (21?) walks up and looks, I said something like "not many cars this old get here!", he asked if I knew what it was (50's Nash) then he rattled off model ID stuff (teeth on cowl vent, etc), turns out has has a 52, 53 and a 48! Not hotrodding or lowering them, more or lest restos.
That's just plain (pleasantly) weird. He found all of his cars, he said, by driving around neighboorhoods, peering in back yards and garages, and asking the owners if they walt to sell it. Got the 52 for $200, the 48 Ambo for $500 in Oxnard.
This Nashcan clearly sat or some time before it got to the yard. The interior exploded stuffing in intact seat frames. Engine oil caked with cathair. Hole in head (otherwise I would have taken the 2bbl head). No door panels, and all the smaller stuff long gone -- steering wheel, knobs, levers, trim, etc. Overdrive trans, axles, etc all gone.
On the Least Coast people might pay money for this hulk -- all the sheet metal was intact and in decent shape. Sweeping bonk on front fender/door, but you could almost push it out. Surface rust inside doors, but not one single rust-through anywhere, not rockers, inner fenders, etc. White repaint terrible, but no signs of heavy damage at any time. Kids jumped the roof in. Most glass intact (but cloudy).
