1934 Nash?


Recommended Posts

Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky was styling consultant to Nash.  His designs display the sweeping details and flamboyant flourishes seen on the 1934-'35 models.  Convertible coupes, being more expensive and lower volume, were typically built off the closed coupe panels.

What's not to like about a Nash or any of the independents that were able to fight the Depression to a standoff. There are some real gems that came from companies like Hudson, Graham, REO and of course Studebaker. All uniquely styled well made and all worthy competition for the Big Three. Today they are seldom seen and to my eyes really stand out in a crowd.

 

There is a big Nash coupe, I believe that it's in the Chicago area, but don't hold me to that part of it. Somewhere I have a picture and a write up saved, but I haven't been able to find it. This may be that car, but I hadn't remembered it to be RH drive.

Not sure that the bling on the rear fender was factory. I have a 1934 Nash (144 inch wheelbase) and have seen in person the blue 1934 coupe that has been FOR SALE for about 3 years out of Loomis CA. The only car for 1934 Nash that I have seen with the rear fender "bling" was the one photographed in this post.  

 

Attractive "streamlining car" designed by a Russian Count from Kiev, so you might say it is a Ukrainian Count.  "Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky".   Great name for a vampire movie.  This man also designed the famous "LaBatt's truck" from the 1940s. This man also designed a famous 1929 L-29 CORD that is still around.

The LaBatts truck is remarkable:
