Eight cylinder club sedan with side mounts!

 

Would you believe I didn't know that people actually preferred sidemounts until a few years ago.   I think because with most prewar cars the sidemounts were an option, but with the high end cars the rear mounted spare was a sport option.   The sport option cars can bring a lot more money than the sidemount cars when you are talking about high end stuff.

For this Nash 1070, you wouldn't need it, it has a 247 ci L-head straight eight.  Only the OHV straight eights were twin-ignition systems.
