1927 Nash Cabriolet Convertible

1927 Nash Special Six Cabriolet Description

This is a rare 1927 Nash Cabriolet Special Six. Being a convertible, I know of only about 5 others existing in the US. It was purchased at the end of WWII by a returning soldier who stored it in his storage building and did a partial restoration around 1960. The original color is burgundy red with black fenders and matching black/red rims. He painted it the current green color, and began a mechanical restoration, but never had time to finish. So, it sat in his garage until I purchased it about 7 years ago. I have done extensive work and have hundreds of pictures of the process. The engine is rebuilt and detailed, along with the transmission, clutch, and other components. Most of the wooden top frame that rests on the steel I-Beam frame was rebuilt.
The brakes still need adjusting, and the gas tank needs to be flushed and an electric fuel pump installed. I have just run the car with a 2qt container, and the engine, clutch, and transmission work great. A new battery was installed, along with a keyed cut-off switch for safety while storing. The leather seats are original and show their age with the cracks in the leather. I have a cloth seat cover on the seats. Under the seat is a secret wooden storage box for your gold bullion, and a seperate box for the battery. There is also a secret storage area behind the seat back, perhaps for running moonshine during the booze-free years under Prohibition.
The rear rumble seat was lost many years ago, and a replacement would be needed, or just fabricate a trunk lid and use it as a trunk. There is a side door on the passenger side for golf clubs. Bumpers were not standard in 1927, but I do have a pair of bumpers that would need restoring. There are steps on the right rear fender for climbing up into the rumble seat. The lights, parking lights, and rear stop light do work. There is a windshield wiper for the driver, and the front windshield is designed to tilt outward for 1920's "Air Conditioning".
The car needs to be painted back to the original burgundy red/black, and a new convertible top will be required. Will be a rare beauty when done.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
