Omg yes, I had a 1991 White Laser, 5 speed manual transmission, DOHC, super nice and zippy, I loved that car and the timing belt tore when i was 8 months pregnant with my first son and it was at 71,000 miles, a thousand over warranty. I bought it from a local dealer brand new and my family had bought several cars from him. So he went to bat for me with the regional manager, and explained i would be off on maternity leave so they paid to fix it when the timing belt tore and the car just quit at about 50 mph, i was only a few miles from home. I still miss that car 😂 it was the only one i ordered brand new, exactly how i wanted it.

My mother’s uncle had a Nash rambler Garage. So every time we were at my grandmothers, we would go to the garage and all the new cars. We had a 52 Nash statesman that went everywhere and anywhere. I love that old car.

I hate to keep correcting you. From what you said it sounded as if you confused the first generation hemi with the first year hemi. Yes, this is the final displacement of the first gen. hemi. However, the hemi made it's first appearance in 1951 at 331 CI and 180 HP.

The Fire Chief of Superior, Wisconsin had that identical car in fire engine red. It was the official Chief vehicle and was kept in the main fire hall. Every time it left the fire hall when it returned the fire fighters would thoroughly wash it over and under then wax it. It was very unusual to see a 1950 sedan in Wisconsin that was rust free in the late 1960s. The City auctioned it off in the mid 1970s. Story is that within a week of it being sold it was totalled in a collision with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. It must have been a very high speed collision to total that heavy piece of steel. BTW the Chief's car had that spot light too which I enjoyed playing with when I visited the fire hall.
