And complete autos. In addition to the two in this story, I think they had a deal with an Eastern European manufacturer in the '60s.I....They had everything from houses, cars, appliances, automotive, cloths and musical instruments

How cool is that?! Thanks for sharing!Crazy coincidence...I just got this from my dad, on Father's Day. It was his first guitar, and the guitar I learned on when I was 11. Went through her and got the set-up pretty good this morning.
I found a set of tuner bushings for it on ebay, got them on the way. Also, I drilled out the rivets that were used to mount the bridge p/u to the pickguard, it was too far away from the strings and sounded really quiet compared to the neck. I used a couple of P90 screws and springs to mount the bridge pickup to the body, make it adjustable. All in all, it's a really fun guitar....unique tone
The car that I think I remember is the Nash Metropolitan, which was at least partly made in England.And complete autos. In addition to the two in this story, I think they had a deal with an Eastern European manufacturer in the '60s.

When I was a kid, I thought the Metropolitan was the coolest car EVER!!The car that I think I remember is the Nash Metropolitan, which was at least partly made in England.

The Metropolitan was actually completely made in England specifically for Nash. Sears never had it, their "Allstate" was a Kaiser "Henry J", which occupied the same market niche as the Metropolitan:The car that I think I remember is the Nash Metropolitan, which was at least partly made in England.

No worries, Tom. I started noticing shortcomings in my own formerly near-flawless memory a few years back, and you only have 7 years on me.Thanks Al for the clarification, remember I'm depending on a 74 year old memory. I'm heading down to Walmart now to get some Prevagen.
