Beep, Beep...

... and the little Nash Rambler went beep, beep. Anyone remember the Nash Rambler? It probably would be a best seller if it were made today. With Ford Motor Company's sales down 48% and General Motors down 52% maybe it is time for them to join the ranks of AMC, Studebaker, Packard, Oldsmobile, Stutz... oh, the list goes on and on and on. There have been over two hundred American automobile manufacturers that have hung up their wheels since the early 1900's. So it appears that the U.S. manages to prevail despite the demise of their automobile manufacturers. Could it be that Americans have just had their fill of new cars and are finding out that their two, three, five or ten year old car is getting them from point A to B just fine. Cars cost more today then my first home cost in 1960. That fact still blows my mind. Beep, beep....move over, I want to pass.
