Nash fans,

Hi, Todd Ruel here from Gone Autos.

A few days ago, I uploaded the only known print of a 1951 Nash film called Proof by Test to YouTube.

You can check it out here:

The most interesting part of this really cool movie is the extended scene featuring Lucky Lee Lot and His Hell Drivers. Up until now, there has only been a half minute of home movie footage showing Lee Lott and his crew in action. But Nash shows him in all of his wheel-tipping, broad jumping, reverse-skidding glory.

If you have an extra minute, check out the blog entry I wrote about the film on the Gone Autos web site. I counted 9 things NOT to do with your Nash. Maybe you could name a few more.

Enjoy!

Nash fans,

It looks like Autoweek.com linked to this rare Nash film for their weekly Film Friday column, and my viewership numbers exploded today.
