That Ford woodie wagon would have had a heck of a time catching that Nash. That inline six in the Nash had more power and torque than the Ford and in 1951 was equipped with a Hydramatic transmission. The woodie made about 90 horsepower and was equipped with a three speed standard transmission.

These are early episodes of Sky King. Sky is still flying the first Song Bird which was a twin engine Cessna T-50 Bobcat. It was a wooden framed fabric covered craft known in WWII as the Bamboo Bomber. The later Song Bird is the one folks my age remember which is the all metal Cessna 310B. Many Cessna 310's are still in service today.

SK apparently couldn't find a regular auto sponsor/provider, who would provide its latest cars (all the same brand, naturally) free, or at a steep discount, in exchange for a mention(s) in the show's credits. Instead, the cars SK used are all over the map: Nash, Buick, Ford, Studebaker...prolly sourced from one of the Hollywood car dealers that leased cars to production companies month-to-month. I like the SK approach better -- looks much more natural.

Ford took forever to tighten up steering. I had a 61 Fairlane with steering play of 8"--barely passed Virginia inspection, and only because the service station guy knew me. My wife had a 71 LTD with the same problem. She later bought a 76 LTD with the same problem. And then an 84 LTD with the same problem. By 84, every other manufacturer had cars that actually drove where you pointed them. Ridiculous--and amazing that Ford survived and had a chance to finally fix this.

Wiki says: The aerodynamic 1949 Nash "Airflyte" was the first car of an advanced design introduced by the company after the war. Its aerodynamic body shape was developed in a wind tunnel. Nils Wahlberg's theories on reducing an automobile body's drag coefficient resulted in a smooth shape and enclosed front fenders. The "cutting-edge aerodynamics" was the most "alarming" all-new postwar design in the industry since the Chrysler Airflow.[16] It was built at one of two new factories in El Segundo, California, where the factory is still being used, having been re-purposed as the Boeing Satellite Development Center, immediately south of Los Angeles International Airport. A one-piece curved safety glass windshield was used on both models. Wide and low, the automobile featured more interior room than its 1948 predecessor although its height was 6 inches less. Due to its enclosed front fenders Nash automobiles had a larger turning radius than most other cars. The 600 models used a 112-inch (2,800 mm) wheelbase while the Ambassador models stretched to 121 inches (3,073 mm). Both shared the same bodies. Coil springs were used on all four wheels. Three trim lines were offered in both models; Super, Super Special, and the top line Custom. Power was provided by an 82-horsepower (61 kW), 176-cubic-inch (2.88 L) flathead inline 6 cylinder in the 600 and an 112 HP OHV, 234-cubic-inch (3.83 L) inline 6 in the Ambassador. The few changes for the 1950 Airflytes were a wider rear window, concealed fuel filler cap, some dashboard features and addition on Ambassadors of a GM Hydramatic automatic transmission option. The 600 models were renamed as the "Statesman". A new first for an American car were seat belts, also new was a five-position Airliner reclining front passenger seat back, both optional in both models. The stroke on the Statesman engine was increased 1/4 inch, giving 186 cubic inches (3.05 L) and 85 hp (63 kW), and the Ambassador received a new cylinder head that increased hp to 115. Changes for the 1951 model Airflytes were to the rear fenders, elongated to incorporate vertical taillights, a new conventional dashboard replacing the Uniscope mounted on the steering column, a new vertical bar grille with horizontal parking lights and addition of GM Hydramatic as a Statesman option also. The three best sales years for Nash up to that time were 1949, 1950 and 1951.

Nash, Chevrolet, Dodge, etc., etc., low end manufacturers, never built a classic car. Sorry. A car is only considered an antique when it's 30 years old. But never a classic . Jesus people.....
