George Mason, president of Nash and architect of the merger became chairman of AMC. Unfortunately he died a few months after the union and was replaced by his visionary executive vice-president, George Romney. Romney, like Mason, firmly believed in smaller more economical cars. And although Nash had just launched the tiny two passenger Austin-engined Metropolitan in March 1954, it was too small for families. Romney recognized Rambler as AMC’s best asset. The Nash Rambler had been introduced in 1950 with a 2,540 mm (100 in.) wheelbase, considerably shorter than other American cars except the tiny Crosley, which was too small to be practical. The Rambler had the 2.8. litre (172.6 cu in.) side-valve six from the Nash Ambassador 600, and the full unit construction Nash had pioneered in American cars in 1941.

These are scenes from three paintings owned by the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco, part of a batch of 10 European artworks obtained between 1933 and 1945 that FAMSF is now reviewing for their possible connection to Nazi-looted art.
The city’s largest arts institution, which oversees the de Young Museum and the California Legion of Honor, has in total some 100,000 pieces of art. It “stands as one of the most visited arts institutions in the United States,” according to its website.

The GOP freshman congressman who purchased a flak jacket following his aye vote for President Donald Trump s impeachment walked into what was once Grand Rapids largest funeral home on a crystalline, blue-sky West Michigan day earlier this month unnoticed and unaccosted.

Meijer, within days of being sworn into President Gerald Ford s old House seat, had earned the vitriol of Trumpland as one of the 10 Republican members of Congress to condemn the president of the United States for his role in fomenting the tragic events of January 6. Of course, this being 21st-century America, the funeral home was now a chic Belgian and French brewpub called Brewery Vivant. And Meij
