The phone number the OP gave in the first post is the same number in the ad KenP posted. Odd.

It seems a strong possibility that the original poster, Vetteor442, is the owner of this car and is trying to gather some more information about what he/she actually has.

Yes, I realized that after I went and looked at his other 3 posts in other threads regarding the same vehicle. Thanks, though

Something else has just occurred to me too. Since this car seems to involve some Rambler parts, could the "American Jet" have been some sort of AMC protoype or concept car? [[And the "National Car Co." possibly an AMC offshoot?) After all, AMC was already producing a small car [[well, small for the time) called the Rambler American. And just a few years earlier Hudson was producing its short-lived "small car" called the Jet. Presumably, AMC, which resulted from a merger of Hudson and Nash, would have still owned the rights to the "Jet" name. So, "American Jet" would have made sense as a potential AMC name for this type of car.

Looking at the profile of the car again, including the wheel wells, it sure looks a lot like someone cut the middle out of a '58 Rambler Ambassador.
