How many cruises can you go to and see a Hollywood Graham?
It is rough, but it is a Graham.

"a few more pics of the Nash note 12 plug wire distributor cap on a six cylinder"

Randy Al,

I didn't try counting the plug wires, too many in that can of worms, but it looks like an 8 with dual ignition. Eight spark plugs can be seen in your pic and by blowing it up you can see NASH 8 embossed in the side plate.

Mal, it is good to be polite but any child can tell you that this is a straight-fourteen engine.
As a side note, I would like to introduce into discussion the term "cultism". Its power elevates the Volkswagen (a high-volume product, article of daily use and minimalist tin construction) to one of the most expensive vehicles of many Saturday night cruises.

Mal good catch my typing was not in line with pictures forgive me I corrected the text . Nash did make both and the owner of these fine Nash cars more than one example of them.
The VW cult is present at a lot our cruises not my THING pun intended. I remember when a used VW bus or van was one step from rusted trash. This proves the dedication or lack of sense and over supply of money and effort by collectors. Car people just seem to spend a lot of money on there brand with no regard to common sense I know the feeling.
I line the stock appearing no matter the brand you have to admire the effort to restore a vehicle that is this side of changing back to dirt

Al,

I've corrected my post too! Originally addressed it to Randy and not yourself, sorry.

In this Nash video, at about the 4:05 mark, you can see the eight sparkplugs on the other side of the engine.
