The 1953 Model of the Nash Rambler attracted the interest of my father, Jim Shaw, to the extent that he made up a little cartoon booklet titled "Nash Ramblings". The car had a distinct shelf at the rear which informed the first two cartoons.

The distictive hood or bonnet ornament attracted some attention and informed the last two cartoons.
