I don't mind that car. Its a Rambler not a Hudson. So do not mind this Rambler. Its been on before. This is the station wagon I was talking about before.

I'd drive it. The "constipated hamster" Ramblers are cool, you either hate 'em or love 'em.

Look close Sean Dude, it has a Hudson emblem on the grill. I can so see you driving to the fabric store or Pottery Barn in this.

What's old is new. Look at the roof design, Nissan/Infiniti borrowed it for their big SUV.

I'd drive it too. It's so dorky it's cool. The color is perfect. Gotta love the Nash cheapness, especially the "Unipod" instrument cluster.

Oh Dave I saw that emblem that has been put on there by mistake. The Kenosha boys did that for a while. Its a Rambler Hudson closed its doors in 54.

The unipod was a Farina invention they thought the simplicity was better than lots of gauges. Of course us road pilots wanted a instrument cluster out of a B17 in there.

And yes I am so all over visits to the Pottery Barn or weekends in the Hamptons....

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to trip up Mr. Hudson. Yes, I agree, no more Hudson cars after 1954, only the name briefly survived.

Ah, Farina... a company whose name means flour in Italian and reminds oldtimers of a 1930's era Little Rascal character. Could have been different if Nash had chosen the name of another food product like Pablum (from Latin "Pabulum" which means foodstuff - Please, no insane attacks over my use of Latin, I can go elsewhere for that) made popular by the great Canadian, Fredrick Tisdall.

Admit it Sean, if your business weren't so consuming, you'd be driving from your summer home in the Hamptons (in your little pink Nash Rambler no doubt) to every Pottery Barn you could find.

Exactly and every Shaker furniture and Americana store I could find humming Celine Dion tunes while loading up my finds with my cashmere sweater tied around my shoulders in an oh so casual fashion.

You, Sean, are the guardian of fashion and design, living life in a fast paced, jet-setter manner. Nothing wrong with kicking back and enjoying a shopping spree in a little pink Nash Rambler and humming a Celine tune.

Exactly takes a real man to pull that off....

Yeah, a real man driving that little pink Nash Rambler really fast, all while trying to hum a Celine tune over the whine of the engine. Laughing
