BEST IN SHOW: 1949 Nash Ambassador Super Brougham

BEST IN SHOW: 1949 Nash Ambassador Super Brougham at the Million Dollar Cruise on Sunday in Tustin , CA. Enjoy!

 

Sweet 'factory custom.'

 

Beautiful restoration! I've not been a strong Nash fan, but I have to say, those cars were in many respects very advanced for the day. I've lived in apartments smaller than the interior of that baby! Congratulations for a well deserved award.

That's a beauty!
Back in the day, most people thought the "bathtub" Nash was a friggin' joke, except for making out in the back seat at the Drive-in. Now I think they're very cool and way ahead of their time.
Here's one I saw at the Showdown, all decked out for camping, with what I believe are factory option window screens.

 

I'm a little slow... any pictures of the rear seats?

 

Nice Nash. I really do like those old tubs. I'll have to find the Nash thread now.

 

That "pod" gauge cluster is very cool! Nice car.


Retirement is underated

 

In 49 they were high style... but styles quickly change. Since cars all got round and streamlined since the 90s the old Nashes Packards and Hudsons start to look good again.

 

That design has a great profile

 

No photos of the rear seats but I can tell you this model had a massave center arm rest in the rear seat area.

 

Very Nice.

Love old Nash/Ramblers/AMC...yeah, I'm one of those oddballs who likes the independents. Thanks again for the nice pics.

 

It deserves best in show it's a very nice ride. The Nash is a great looking ride and the front fenders over the front wheels have always appealed to me

 

Sweet. You can't beat a Nash. Nice photos!

 

Gorgeous car. Would be happy to have that in my garage.

 

What a gorgeous car.
