Seems odd that many were stored in a field.

I honestly liked the photos of the service counter.
They spoke to me and suggested so much in those 2 photos. It illustrated a sort of simplicity of life style and I inferred that it would have been extremely satisfying to run a service counter back when one single large reference book was all that was necessary to help your customers keep their cars running.
The guy looked about as happy as a guy can hope to be.
I love old cars. People that love investments priced me out of old cars long ago.
If I could have a Nomad I'd want to use it as a daily driver. I can't.
all the best,
mike

So I guess this might be good time to tell you I was brought home from the Doctors office in a Nash with a hole in the floor, and then later I have a vague childhood memory of driving up to Miami with my Dad when he picked up his bright shiny Rambler that he kept in near new condition for 30 years? No Kidding. Thankfully we had a pick up truck too. I think he spent more on his '46 Aeronca AC than he ever did on a car. :-)

My youngest (of four children) sister was born in the back of a Rambler (or maybe a Studebaker) on the way to the hospital. Her birth certificate has place of birth listed as "6th and Wilshire", not the hospital.

Kim P. was a varsity cheerleader and she drove a '56 chevy sedan to school. Her dad had the plastic seat covers in it.
It used to put little diamond shaped dimples in the back of her legs.
Don't ask me how I know. :-)
