Hi,

I'm new to the site. Been into old VW's but after owning a few I have lost my interest and sold my 55'. Recently I found a 1940 Nash Ambassdor 6 (4020) for sale locally. Seems like a really solid car, almost no rot, and mostly complete. Needs some interior plastics and the turn signals under the headlights otherwise tis all there. It has the optional overdrive. It will need a full resto too though (the work does not scare me at all). So maybe not worth it moneywise?

While I am contemplating what to offer, I also wonder...how hard is it to find parts? Almost impossible? Thats my real fear with a car like this as opposed to a Buick from the same era. Which I have also found for sale locally.

Any advice to someone young, stupid, and looking for a neat 1937-42 car to restore.

Thanks
John

Mechanical parts are probably not too hard to come by, but trim pieces would be. A restoration of anything is expensive, but you would have a rare, interesting car That would be an outstanding tour car. I suggest you look at the Nash club web site for a start. Without seeing the car it is hard to comment, but one might consider if it needs everything, if it was given to you, you most likely would still not come out right. Also, check EBay for parts, as welkl as the Nash Club.
