    Uni-Body - How scared should I be?

    in American Motors (AMC), Nash, & Rambler

    Posted · Edited by rowan782 (see edit history)

    1951 Nash - I am talking to a seller. I am not familiar with this style auto, I certainly am no mechanic. He said the motor at one time had partially fallen out, and a welder installed a new "third member". Better than new supposedly. Here's the question: the welder had said the rear end (not the rear axle, but the rear part of the uni-body) was going to need attention next. Is this a situation that a general welder could address, or a body shop/frame shop would need to fix? Thanks for any advice.

    Thanks Pete, I am also wowed by that bathtub look of the early 50's Nash, know of one that will require a lot of new window glass. Know of source for the rubber seals? tks in advance. I hated that so called bathtub look when I was in high school, must be four decades of living since then that gives new perspective.

    Previously I was into late 40's to mid 50's Mopar wagons, retired, got sick, sold all, Well cancer didn't get me and I've got a little more money now. For some reason I am interested in 59 - 60 Rambler Americans, looking for sedan or wagon. Are there a lot of parts, I realize probably not as many as I am used to seeing for other makes. Would anyone have rear end for automatic trans. set-up?

    thanks everyone. From this I take that the term was used exclusively by Buick, and that it has been affixed to many models/years. My first driver was Dad's 1954 Super 2 dr. hdtp,, then his 1954 Century 4 dr, my first car was a 1957 Special convertible.

    tks again.

    The very last of my old parts

    After twenty active years I am exiting old car hobby, two cancer scares and early retirement has contributed to that forced decision. I have sold all, but I recently found in an old grain bin (used for storage at boyhood family farm) two hood pieces; I have no idea what the make/year is. My dad bought the farm in 1946, as a boy in the 50's, I remember an old rusty car sitting in a ravine. Evidently I or one of my brothers deemed these pieces relatively good, and salvaged them, probably in the early 60's. One is half a hood top and the louvered side panel. I know how to attach photos at EBay but I can't figure out how to at this site, and I probably won't need to again. So, I wonder if anyone wanting to try to identify would email me separately at riverslim48@yahoo.com so I can send the image to you. The piecdes are probably mid 1930's era. thanks, stan
