1919 Nash Sports Tourer - Floor Heater

[John Lynn]

Hello from New Zealand.
 

Just about to start the restoration of a 1919 Nash Sports Tourer which was purchased from the USA a few years ago and has been in storage awaiting the start of a restoration.

Overall , the car is in sound condition , engine turns over , body work 90% ok , needs painting and upholstery and general servicing of all mechanical parts to ensure they are all in running condition.

 

Car came with some spares , but not sure we have everything - will find out when I start stripping it down and re-assembling.

 

The most intriguing aspect of the car , is the heater in the floor in the rear passenger area. Looks like it will heat via water circulation , but I haven't been able to find any information in the Parts and Operating manuals I have for the car. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Have attached some photos.

Hi. Just realised you were the first person to respond to my post back in June 2018 when I posted my 1920 Davis Phaeton Tourer restoration project. Not sure if you have still been following it, however , the car is all finished and completed its maiden tour run last weekend. I have updated the original post ( 1920 Davis )

Have attached a photo for you. New top being made and fitted next month.
