Yep - I bet if you do a search for the photo online it will come up as part of a 'For Sale' or other post. Obviously a scam.

I checked with the local O-Reilly's and found a solid metal exhaust donut of the right diameter (Nickson EG24519) for under $10. The Kanter gasket was a mesh that got eaten away in less than an hour's worth of driving. So far the Nickson seems to be doing well. I'll let you know how it holds up.

I need to get an exhaust flange gasket for my 1941 Packard 110 sedan. The new gasket included in the Kanter set lasted two drives before falling apart. Does anyone know what might fit and where I can get one?

My 1951 Land Cruiser came with the factory visor - it has a support rod in the center that screws into the cowl at the back edge of the hood and four chrome clamps that attach to the drip rails. I have lost the clamps over the years, and am hoping to find some.

Hiya! Best guess is that would be for the 1953, as the 49/50 had the clock in the glove box door.

Did Nash print an Accessory folder in 1949? I have vehicle sales literature, and have seen Accessory catalogs for other years, but have not seen one for 1949. I am looking for a list of what was available for the Ambassador that year.

I got one from Brent Havecost.

Brent Havecost emailed me that he had found one in his stock, and I bought it.

I have not been able to find a replacement for my 1949 Nash Ambassador's oil pressure sending unit. The 1950 used the same basic gauge setup - will one of those sending units work for the 1949? The OHV engine should be the same. I don't know what the difference might be.

I may have just passed up a great deal, but I turned down what felt like a scam. I got a call from a man at 530-338-6008 (A California cell phone) who offered me a NOS rear bumper for my 1949 Nash Ambassador for $450 plus $125 shipping from California. Why the suspicion? He is leaving for Hawaii tomorrow (So why is his cell phone based in California?) and would need the money sent immediately. He didn't know a fair price and 'called a buddy to find out how much his father had offered the bumper to the guy for'. He called back in under a minute - the guy had answered on the first ring and remembered the price of $450! Then he checked on shipping and called back in under 2 minutes with the quote of $125. The shipper he had called had 'just sent a bumper to Norfolk' and quoted the price immediately. A cautionary note to all who might get suckered by deals that are too good to be true. I also got an email this morning from David Meehan (meehandavid61@gmail.com) who is 'parting out a 1949 Nash Ambassador'. The picture (attached) was obviously clipped from the Internet, a 2022 ad for a 1949 Nash on Barn Finds (Potential Bargain? 1949 Nash Ambassador Super | Barn Finds). The car needed work but had beautiful chrome and a solid body. The email said he was parting the car out due to health and age issues. Except it would take far more effort to strip a car than to fix it up, especially given the apparent condition of the car in the picture. I may owe Mr. Meehan and the unnamed caller apologies, but both came across as scammers.

The Nash parts folks don't have the muffler in stock - any other avenues? One was ordered from Waldon's, but it looks like it will be a while before they make it.

The original invoice for my 1949 Nash Ambassador Custom 4-door lists 'Jet Flow' among the other options. All of the other items are easy to identify. Does anyone know what the 'Jet Flow' referred to? I've done an internet and literature search.

Hiya! Sent off a membership application the day I bought the Nash!
