6T-FinSeeker 1,359 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 For sale on Craigslist: 1951 Nash Rambler Airflyte Landau in Allentown, PA - $19,900 - Call or text: 484 903 16 one one Link: https://allentown.craigslist.org/cto/d/new-tripoli-1951-nash-rambler-airflyte/7257005465.html Seller's Description: 1951 Nash Rambler Airflyte Landau (Convertible) odometer: 89111 transmission: manual title status: clean 1951 Nash Rambler Airflyte Landau (Convertible) 89,000 original miles. Three speed on the column. Car is considered in number three condition valued by Hagerty at $23,000. A number one condition is valued at $51,000. Almost the entire car is original. NOS parts used when needed. New Cocker whitewalls, entire brake system, suspension, and on and on. Owned for four years. Invested over $25,000. All restoration documented. The top does go up and down slowly. I drive it on a weekly basis for about an hour or so. It is currently stored away in a barn for winter. There are 4 extra hubcaps, a head gasket, every possible original manual (one being very hard to find), and various collectibles included. This is the same model used as Lois Lane’s car in Superman. Also the same model Marilyn Monroe owned personally and used in parades. Last but not least, this is the car from the song "Beep, Beep" recorded by a group known as The Playmates. I’m not really wanting to sell, but must for financial reasons. My family and I have enjoyed this car tremendously. When we drive it we are amazed how many people stop, smile, and wave. It’s quite priceless in it’s own way. I could go and on. If interested please contact me. I appreciate your time. God bless 2 Link to post Share on other sites

neil morse 1,742 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Looks like a great opportunity to own something fun and unique. What's with the orange color of the firewall and engine compartment? Was the car originally orange? Or was that a Nash thing? It looks a little odd. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
alsancle 5,959 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 That is a pretty nice car. I had a very fleeting desire to get a Metropolitan once. That urge has passed. Link to post Share on other sites

Or was that a Nash thing? It looks a little odd. It MAY be that Nash originally painted the inner fender panels with red lead (only), as did Willys on its Jeepsters and other square bodies. In Willys's case, the firewall was painted body color. In my Jeepster, I repainted the inner fender panels with damp-proof red primer, then topped with matte-finish clear coat, to approximate the factory appearance. Link to post Share on other sites
The 55er 721 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Is one of these Nash Ramblers really worth 51K in number one condition? I mean would someone actually pay that? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
