Ramblers Anonymous

My dad's parents, were partial to Nash Ramblers. Stout and sturdy styling, but such unusual colors. More like appliance colors (Lake Shore Blue, Mariner Turquoise, Autumn Yellow, Mardi Gras Red, Georgian Rose). No doubt because Nash and the Kelvinator appliance business were part of the same company.

“There must’ve been one car dealer in all of Metropolis, because everyone drove a Nash. Lois Lane had a Nash Rambler. Clark Kent drove a Nash-Healey sports car. For a good chunk of ‘Superman,’ you saw nothing but Nashes.”
