Mike, I was not even a wee lad when Hudson and Nash merged in May of 1954...I was born about 4-1/2 months later. So I grew up a Rambler kid, but I always liked the lines of the '47-'47 coupes [a convertible would be the ultimate for me!], and while we had that '52 Wasp hardtop as a family car until 1964, I really didn't like the "scowl" the Hudson grilles had '51-'53. And like most of Dad's customers, I wasn't a big fan of the '55-'57 "Hash", which was neither fish nor fowl [though I would like to find a '56 Hornet Special with the 250 AMC V8 and overdrive].

But that car had the LL [4.89?] rear end, and would actually turn the tires in 3rd gear from a standing start [car had overdrive, of course].
