A couple of weeks ago, the 49th annual Early Tin Dusters car show — which features vintage vehicles from the 1940s and earlier — was held in Quincy, Illinois.

One of the event’s organizers, Nash Simmons, has been attending the show his entire life. He was even born on a Tin Dusters weekend.

During a recent interview, Simmons mentioned that the vintage car he’s currently working on is the very one that he was named after — a 1934 Nash.

(Wisconsin-based Nash Motors manufactured cars from the 1910s to the 1950s.)
