"Nash inline 6?"

It has an Allstate hood ornament.  That's unusual.
It'll be interesting to see what it fetches.

Fid... What's your best guess on that electrical box on the firewall? It has a O.D. relay ,but no pull knob is present.

I was thinking it was some type of resistor pack to drop the 12  volts to 6 volts to run instruments etc.

Addendum -  I do see the OD relay under that box.  Also, see a horizontal knob/lever next to the steering column (left side) which looks like a Ford OD cable.  Likely what it is.

There is a late Bosch style relay dangling from that box. Might be a 12 volt one in the circuit instead of the OEM one on the fire wall. Lots of owner improvements on this one.
