Artifact Condition:	Vehicle is in good condition. Spoked wheels and had rubber tires. Has fender and running board although decaying on the ends. Large engine is still in place, but no covers. Firewall is enacted with a hole in the side that may have had the spare tire bracket. There is a ventilation flap on the top. Passenger side doors have large holes corroded in them, however the glass in the window are fully intact. The back window has about 30% of the glass. Visor on the front windshield. Ceiling and back panels have deteriorated or were soft. Radiator appears to be missing or toppled

Additional Information:	The missing engine covers, front grill, and rear end of the car give the vehicle the impression of being shorter than it probably is. A large glass sponge, hormathiid, brisingids, shrimp, and a scorpion fish were sighted on the artifact. Nash added the dash vents to the single-6 450's in 1930.
