Have to love the pink Nash with crager rims. Thanks for the pics Wyatt!

They did the best they could with that model! LOL! Did I buy them? Yes, I did. Thanks, Wyatt for the pic! I like having the link right there to your site, too!

I have to get me a copy of the yellow and white one. Great shots Wyatt.

Sweet! We have a turquoise/white 2-tone rolling around Grand Rapids, MI.

What I like about them is whenever you got a Car Show going on and the lil' Nash is mixed in with a handful of other riders from the same era, the Nash always manages to stand out... Unless it's in the middle of a dozen or so other Nash's then I guess it gets lost in the crowd.

If anyone in NE Ohio remembers back in the day, One of the reporters for the WJW News always did some sort of 'One tank trips' in a red/white 2-tone Nash.

That casting was a good choice for a BWF Thanks again Wyatt

[STUTZ]

I have the 3 castings shown.

I think the flames on the BWF version was nicely done.

Beautifully done picture Wyatt, Sharp, crisp and you take them so well! Love and look forward to all the weekly photos.

Thanks Wyatt for the latest installment of the Picture Of The Week.
Another sweet casting from JL.
I believe that I have all five versions that have been released.
The BWF edition was a hard one to find.
And I liked the Coke version so much that I bought two copies of it when it came out.
It wasn't because it was Coke but because the casting was so sweet.
I do share some of my JL collecting interests with my wife.
And this is one of her favourites.

Cheers. Cobra

Cool little buggy! I have the BWF, yellow & white and the aqua & white ones.

There's a aqua & white 1:1 at a garage not too far from where I live. Maybe I'll take a ride and snap a pic if it's still there.

If you add the casting to your collection you will have to be careful how you display it.
The casting is on the large size and doesn't display well besides some JL castings.
Otherwise, it is a neat little (actually a big almost 3") casting.
Once you have a copy, you will probably like it.

Cheers. Cobra
