When's the last time someone saw one of these running around. Had one in the parking lot this morning...kind of a trip to see one of these out and about...not too many of them around. Doug

Very cool Doug. I have never seen one, would like to get a close look someday. Wonder how many still exist today?

There was a guy here selling a couple Nash Metros, they are a neat little "grocery getter."

about 400 were built and they are saying that about 49 still survive. The guy lived an interesting life.

I have another rare one a Type III Saab Sonett

I have seen only three in my life time.
Only 10,000 were made and I am restoring one (I have two).
They used a Ford V4 engine and had a fiberglass body.

They are cool cars. My friend Alan had one for a while. Did you get a chance to talk to the owner?
Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Ask yourself these simple questions every time you are in doubt about any action.

There was one in an auction near here a few years ago. Word was that Jay Leno sent a buyer. I don't know who got it.

I don't know much about classic cars but the jet is very cool!

Kinda reminds me of the Tucker:

The Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, California has a Tucker on display.
