11/18/08 Bob Grutza's 1931 Nash Standard 8 Rumble Seat Coupe
This was the first
year Nash offered a low cost 8 (L head in line). Nash offered two Overhead
Valve in line 8's the previous year in 1930 for their senior series of cars
only. This car mixes a little old with the new so to speak, New 8 engine, Old
wood artillery wheels. This car has a 116" wheel base, sold for $975.00 New.
Almost twice the price of a Ford Model A. The running boards are not
authentic and should be covered in rubber. The previous owner liked the way
it looked and left it that way.
Nash headquarters
was located in Kenosha Wisconsin with other plants in Milwaukee and Racine..
This series of car besides offering this rumble seat coupe they offered a
trunk model business coupe, a 2 door 5 window sedan, a four door sedan with
and without rear quarter windows. For being a depression era auto Nash built
almost 20,000 cars in the L head 8 series automobiles. The 6 cylinder
version over 30,000 cars were produced.
The Kenosha History
Museum located at 220 51st Place at the Kenosha Lake Front has 7 Nash autos of
the 30's on display through May.

This station was built in 1926 in New Ulm, MN. There is a washroom in each turret on the ground floor. The lady said originally they had intended to have Neon wind mill arms on the front of each turret at the top. They would not turn. This was never done though. Started life as "Wolf River Oil" ended in the 60's as a "Pure". Bob G.
