Nash Car Auction
In celebration of the 25th annual Strawberry Festival at the Palisades Presbyterian Church, this year a unique Vintage 1923 Nash Open Touring Car will be auctioned off at the end of the day on June 9th. The car has a convertible top and there are early plastic (Isinglass) windows which were called side curtains, for covering during a rain storm. It is truly a piece of automotive history. The car, which was restored in the early 1960’s by its present owner’s family, toured in the Glidden Antique Car Tours in the 1960’s and early 70’s and took several blue ribbons.
It will be on view at the Church on Washington Spring Road for several days before the auction. In May, information will be available on the Church’s web site, www.ppc10964.org
This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone to own a piece of history and benefit a Church at the same time.
