Jeff Perkins / Mn Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I love the cars from the immediate pre and the immediate post war era cars. Fortunately I own one that I love or I would certainly check this one out. Go for it @ericmac!

Fossil Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Who would have thought that putting that color on that car would make that color look so good 😊. That is a sharp looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks from this pic like the starter button is under the clutch, so you turned the ignition and depressed the clutch pedal all the way in order to start the car. Seems like a nifty and safe set up. But was there anything to prevent you from (inadvertently) hitting the starter button directly with your foot without depressing the clutch while the car was in gear? The reason I'm asking is that I have a very vivid childhood memory of playing in my parents '50 Nash (which they let me do unsupervised when I was a toddler -- I guess they figured they would know where to find me!). My memory is that I somehow got the car to "drive" forward by stamping on various pedals and buttons on the floor, even though I didn't have the key. (My parents weren't that crazy.) Is it possible that the starter button on the floor was "hot" all the time, whether the ignition switch was turned on or not, so that if someone stepped on the starter switch with the car in gear, the starter motor would cause the car to creep forward even though the car wouldn't start? I'm pretty sure this event happened, but I'm trying to figure out how it could have. Thanks in advance. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericmac Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Yes Neil, on all of my other Nashes the starter has been hot all the time. So it is very possible that your memory is 100% accurate. Edited December 14, 2022 by ericmac (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
