The sedan in the middle. Nash Rambler? |

Nash Rambler Super 4 door sedan , 1956 ( model 5615-1 ) |

It looks like a Rambler, indeed, Pilou. But the vertical rear lights and the high wheel arches don't fit... I'd tend to a 1955 (license plate) Hudson Hornet, though I couldn't really convince myself yet... (Btw. interesting ACMA Vespa 400 on the right) |

I would say its a 56 Rambler but the Hudson shared the body and most of the trim that year..different badges |

So confusing: there was a Nash Rambler, a Rambler and a Hudson with the same body... The Nash Rambler can be excluded because of the body with almost covered wheels and the different rear lights. Therefore I thought it had to be a Hudson, but I'd forgotten the Rambler. And the trim and colour scheme do fit to the 1956 Rambler Custom. |

DynaMike I think you are thinking that the Rambler with the covered wheels was built into 56 but was finished in 55. So in 56 there was the big Nash and Hudson on one body, the Rambler and Hudson on the new body and the Metropoliton as a Nash or a Hudson. The 55 Rambler did reappear with some changes in 58 as the American. One of the few times that a car was brought back from the dead by an American manufacturer and was a success. |

Strictly speaking , it should be filed as a Nash Rambler or a Hudson Rambler not as a Rambler , because the Rambler was only classed as a separate make beginning in 1957.Trim is hardly visible here but the probability of it being a Nash is higher since Hudson diffusion had become very confidential by then. |
