Huge trunk, big engine bay and not a lot of power.  |
Interesting, my dad had allot of oil problems from the six too. He bought it new, an upgrade from the 50 Nash. A few years later, he had to put a new short block in it. I was maybe 11-12 then. He did the engine swap on the street in front of our house. Big trunk, lot of rust - the body didn't hold up at all. Probably the Chicago winters and salt. He got rid of the car in 69.
