I mentioned earlier that my parents had a Nash. I remember that the
front seats would lay back and if you pulled them up just right you
could have a very nice "bed" with the back seat.


Yep. A friend of mine had a 1960 Rambler that did that. I got one too
and we tried to fold the front seats in the same fashion, but it took
a lof of force. Sitting on the dash and kicking force, to be exact.
We got them to fold but found out afterwards that mine didn't have
that feature, so from that point on I was driving around sitting on
the edge of a bed. Just like Anthony, come to think of it!

Oh yeah, it ony had second gear and had a range of about 15 miles
before it overheated. I loved it. I called it "The Midnight Rambler"

When I was 16 we had the Rambler station wagon where the front seat
folded back and the back seat folded forward, giving you a flat,
spacious deck from dashboard to tailgate.

Unfortunately, my social skills weren't quite good enough at the time
to take full advantage of it. Had to make do later with the back seat
of a Nova. :-(

He heh. Yeah, Girls didn't exactly flock towards mine. Especialy when we
painted "Midnight Rambler" along the side with Pep Boys spray paint.
They were even less interested in my 53 Chevvy panel truck with the
water bed inside.
Women, eh?
