Museum Tours are Popular We toured several museums this year. The Nash Rambler museum in Elizabeth was very interesting. This collector has over 750 AMC, Nash, and Hudson cars. As you can see, not all are restored. I took this pic since my dad bought one new when I was a kid. Boy was I embarrassed, my friends called it an upside down bath tub!
