In 1947, Nash produced 113,000 cars placing the marque in tenth place in the industry. The top-of-the-line model was the Airflyte series and one of the sought-after bodystyles was the convertible, which was re-introduced for 1948. In total, there were just 1,000 examples built.
This example is finished in blue and has a tan interior. The current owner's purchased the car in the early 1990s after it was fully and professionally restored. It is a well-equipped car with a power top and the original factory radio.
In 2009, this Custom Convertible was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $140,000. The lot failed to sell after reaching a high bid of $75,000.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
