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.
