1936 Nash Lafayette 3 window rumble seat coupe

Well guys, here's my find and save this weekend! It's a rare car! What do you think? It will probably be a conversation piece for quite awhile, alot of work needed.

 

no comments huh?

 

OK, I wish it were mine, feel better?

 

Looks like it's in good shape. Bet you'll have the only one in town!

 

nice car, but i never liked the door lines on the lafayettes.

Im an amb***ador man myself

 

Cali plates in Oklahoma. Is that a repatriated okie?

 

Those wheels are kick *** hey nice car too

 

please give me the broken front license frame.

pretty darn cooool i like it

 

Saw it too? Like an up close shot of it. Coupe was a great save/purchase, sir!

 

slow,slow,slow renovation!

 

I agree, never seen them before.

 

more pics please

 

'36 Lafayette has got to be top 5 on a long list of cars that i have vowed to one day own. You are a lucky man!

 

Could be real cool, I would round off the rear of those door tops though...

 

A unique coupe with a rumble seat. What a score!!!

 

I LIKE it!! But did you save it or is it still there where you found it? Those pics look like it's been in the same spot for a while. Cool car though.

 

Looks pretty solid, I like it. Lippy

 

She's saved....just before pics...I'll pic more soon!

 

Heres what i did with my 41 Amb***ador 600

Good luck with the project, I have a 37 sedan.

 

Nice ride. THe rear looks like it is screaming to be dragged!

Love the wheels! I would also purchase them.


Good luck!

 

thanks for the compliments....it's a cool looking car!

 

That is a real treasure. Very few of the 3w exist. I have seen pics of only 2.

I have a 36 sedan in progress (not HAMB friendly!) and parts of another 36 sedan that I plan to make into a (HAMB friendly) roadster.

Keep us posted on progress.

 

Yours is the second one of those I've seen! I think they are a very cool 'Art Deco' type design. I hope you have great success building something special out of it.

Very cool. There was a nicer one on eBay years ago. I've always wondered what became of that one.

Yeah, the door lines were overlooked when it was designed but other than that. it's a real cl***ic.

 

Nice find, deco all the way! CLOSE UP of the rims puhleeese!
