1947 Nash Ambassador Suburban

Like the 'Big Three' automakers, Nash continued producing its pre-World War II cars through 1948 without major change. Sales were strong because of pent-up demand during the war years. Ambassador remained the top Nash series, and an Ambassador sedan was the pace car for the 1947 Indianapolis 500 race. Post-war changes were mostly cosmetic: a new wider front grille, a new hood badge and turn signals moved from the top of the front fenders to inboard from the headlights. The eight-cylinder engine was dropped, leaving the Ambassador with only the 234.8 cubic-inch six. The Nash Ambassador models were divided into two lines - Custom and Super. The Supers consisted of four sedans: the two-door Brougham and three four-doors, the 'Slipstream' fastback, the Trunk, and the Suburban, which had wooden side panels in the style of the Chrysler Town and Country. This Suburban is an original, unrestored example.
