Mike, I was not even a wee lad when Hudson and Nash merged in May of 1954...I was born about 4-1/2 months later. So I grew up a Rambler kid, but I always liked the lines of the '47-'47 coupes [a convertible would be the ultimate for me!], and while we had that '52 Wasp hardtop as a family car until 1964, I really didn't like the "scowl" the Hudson grilles had '51-'53.
