Disneyland used (and still uses) so
many Nash Rambler front spindles and hubs as the component
building-block for so many different pieces of their rolling equipment
(including the Omnimover system) that they bought the tooling when
Rambler stopped making them.


Heh. That's a cool bit of trivia. But it makes sense. They were also much
sought-after in wrecking yards for building trailers. AMC was still putting
those bolt-on front spindles on Gremlins, Pacers and Javelins in the 70s. I
have a pair of them buried in the back of my shed from my wrecking yard
days--eighteen years ago.

Cheers,
