Studie289 ◊ 2014-10-07 07:14	It's still not a Nash -- if you don't believe me, at least change it to unknown. (It's a Ford -- I promise) There is a Nash in the picture -- it's the touring car on the street in the background. That's my 1921 Nash. -- Last edit: 2014-10-07 07:15:35

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2023-02-23 08:59	I’m in the Ford camp. Here is a Nash Standard Six, complete with longitudinal semi elliptic springs on the front axle, and wooden wheels. https://www.grautogallery.com/vehicles/8620/1929-nash-standard-six I would suggest that such things are not frequently encountered on Model A Fords, and cannot be seen here. Any takers?
