Re: Nash

Their flathead engine was a pretty good engine. In 56 they reworked it as an overhead valve engine and it was not as reliable.

Hi Al,

I drove my dad's 52 Rambler when I was in college.  It got 22 mpg.   The engine head cracked while I had it.  It was a flat head six cylinder.  I was able to get a new head for it.

I worked on it in back of the campus firehouse where I lived at that time.  Later I sold it for $50.

There's another thing we did.  Fly kites.  We also made them from time to time.  I had some very peaceful times in the fields to the south, where the105 freeway is now, laying in the grass watching my kite straight overhead.

I saw players on the floor.  The board had a backboard that blocked others from seeing your board.

Al,

How did we keep the other players from seeing our ship layout?  Did we play on a table or on the floor?

Yes, diagonally and also a combination of all directions as long as each square touched another.

I made a YouTube video about 7 years ago.

Hi Al,

Like Cathy, I remember about 4 players.  The wikipedia entry shows the ships placed vertically or horizontally.   I seem to remember that we also could place them diagonally.  Do you remember that?

Wikipedia doesn't know that more than 2 can play the game. What would you say was the largest number  we played with back in the day? I remember about 5.
