Those early Nash Ramblers were neat little cars, but they were probably a little ahead of their time in the early 50s. Too few people were interested in smaller cars back then. Also too few people were big fans of what were considered "Off-Brands" in those days. That's why Nash, Studebaker, Packard, and Hudson first made mergers, then just finally disappeared altogether. 
I had a 1967 Rambler Rebel Station Wagon but by then they were full size cars. That was one of the best cars I've ever owned, but I made the mistake of not having A/C! 
That was a big mistake around Phoenix! Used to go on vacation over to San Diego in the Summer and we all had squirter bottles so we could keep spraying each other with water too keep cool! 
But I still love my HHR

Ah!! A Cord! Now you're talking. I loved those Beauties even when I was a kid!
If you saw the movie, "The Shadow", with Alec Baldwin, he rode around in a Cord taxi cab. The only thing it didn't have were those big chrome pipes coming out of the hood sides and into the fenders.

I love those old Nash cars, especially the ones from the 50's. They were so huge. The back seats of the sedans were so roomy that you could sit back there and cross your legs and stretch out. Kinda like a rolling living room. This pic is NOT stretched or exaggerated. No wonder the postwar baby boom generated such a birth explosion!
