I've driven in a '51 Nash, and with its stellar 83 HP "L" head inline 6 cylinder
engine, it could barely get out of its own way. Hard to believe that it could
out drag anything but perhaps a bicycle, let alone achieve air.
It was an interesting car, the engine idled so smoothly and quietly that
it was often mistaken for stalled... a fact quickly disproved by the grinding
of the starter bendix against the turning flywheel.
