Hemmings Find of the Day - 1951 Nash Statesman Super

Posted by Kurt Ernst - Every car has a story, and we can't help wonder about the tale behind this 1951 Nash Statesman Super, for sale on Hemmings.com. The Nash Statesman wasn't a limited-production car, nor was it the kind of automobile likely to turn neighbors green with envy. Why, then, would someone buy Nash's sensible midsize sedan and not drive it? As described by the seller, the car is all original, with a mere 305 miles on the odometer, and appearance-wise, it's hard to refute the claim.

Eighties Excitement: Pontiac's 1986 full-line brochure, 30 years later
