Model Car Garage, Inc.

Model Car Garage, Inc. The Model Car Garage The Model Car Garage is owned and operated by Robert Korunow of Avon Park, Florida. His efforts paid off in many ways.

An avid modeler since he was a kid in Westfield, N.J., Bob credits longtime modeling master Augie Hiscano of Miami for mentoring him to that higher level of the craft where even the tiniest details become crucial. Wanting to put his skills to the test, in the early 90's Bob decided to build up a Plymouth Satellite, a favorite muscle car of his youth. During the year and a half it took to build the

model, an interesting thing happened. Many of the intricate details Bob needed for his model simply did not exist, so they had to be fabricated or machined from scratch. For example, in order to create the pulleys for the engine, Bob purchased a small lathe. Hearing of this, his friends were soon asking for sets of their own. Soon there were other requests and more parts that would not fit his requirements. Fan belts, steering columns, trim pieces, disc brakes, they all had to be built from scratch. By the time the Satellite was approaching completion it was a full-blown test bed for dozens of different pieces. In addition to winning Best Street Machine and Best Paint Job at the 1993 Great Salt Lake Model Car Championship with the Satellite, Bob was getting so many requests for his aftermarket pieces that he was able to quit his day job and devote himself full time to The Model Car Garage. Today, The Model Car Garage offers more then 400 different items, from photo-etched detail sets to flocking to machined aluminum parts plus so much more!!!.

Thought this was cool and all of you would enjoy seeing this from the past

Long before RVs, minivans, and luxury SUVs with folding seats, Nash had a wild idea:

What if your car could turn into a bedroom?

The 1949 Nash Airflyte 600 featured reclining seats that folded flat into twin beds, allowing travelers to sleep inside the car during long road trips. It was one of the most unusual comfort features offered by any American automaker of the era.

One famous 1949 promotional photo shows a family of three peacefully sleeping inside an Airflyte. For years, many people never noticed one clever detail…

The doors had actually been removed for the photo. 😄

Nash engineers wanted buyers to clearly see how the seats transformed into beds, so they pulled the doors off before taking the picture. Once you spot it, you can’t unsee it.

The feature wasn’t just a gimmick. In the years following World War II, roadside motels weren’t nearly as common as they are today. Families often packed up the car and traveled long distances, making the idea of sleeping inside your automobile surprisingly practical.

It’s funny to think that a feature we associate with modern camping vans was already available in a family sedan nearly 80 years ago.

Did anyone in your family ever own a Nash? 🚗
