Equipment
196/125hp six, automatic, wheel covers, whitewalls, roof rack, dash clock, heat/defrost, Radio. Vinyl upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Cosmetic restoration done in the 1990s. The bumpers look good but most of the body trim is dull. The paint looks good for its age but it is old. The tires are older with yellowed sidewalls. There is uneven panel fit throughout, and the gaps between the doors are so big you could put your finger through them. The dash is largely original but holding up well, and the upholstery is very good. The quarter windows are delaminating. The underbody is clean, not restored but not totally left alone either. Rare, charming oddball `50s wagon. Who needs a Nomad when you could cruise in this? Tom Martin Collection.
Market commentary
Astoundingly cool and funky, a Fifties relic in good if aged cosmetically restored condition. It is not for everyone, but for a collector who wants something at a reasonable price that isn't going to meet itself coming the other way very often, if ever, this is an appropriate choice. Plus, 1957 is the last year for Nash production. A terrific weekend cruiser at a modest price.
