1932 Nash Special Eight Navigation
Ambassador was the model name applied to the senior line of Nash automobiles from 1932 until 1957. American Motors would continue to use the Ambassador name on its top-of-the-line models until 1974, making it one of the longest running nameplates in automotive history.
The 'Advanced 8 engine' measures 322 cubic inches and produces 125 horsepower. It is backed by a three-speed transmission. This Ambassador features a Seaman Phaeton convertible body with roll-up windows and a fold-down windshield, assuring all weather comfort. Riding on a 128-inch wheelbase, another notable feature is the worm-drive rear axle which allows the chassis to be lower to the ground, providing a sleek look and smooth ride.
Dual side-mount spare tires provide a stately appearance, and it is one of the first automobiles produced with a built-in trunk.
Found languishing in a Tucson, Arizona junkyard in the mid-1970's, it has been lovingly restored to its original as-delivered beauty. Also of note is that aside from General Motors, Nash was the only automobile manufacture to have a profitable year in 1932.
