Purrs pretty nice! Surprised to see its an OHV engine. Plenty of character on this one. What's it worth?

Did you talk to the actual owner or the grandson who posted on FB? I noticed the price went back up again and was bemused. He's going the wrong direction. Seems like whenever someone wants to trade, they are expecting to receive a vehicle more valuable than the one they currently have.

Best looking Chrysler of the '50's! Great colors. Looks solid. I would keep it original as a survivor car.

There was a story about this car in Hemmings Classic Car magazine a few years back. Only "x90" series cars were Ambassadors (until the 1960's that is). As established, this is an 80 series car. It was known as the "Special Eight" in the 1932 second series (which this car is) and the "Advanced Eight" in the 1933 1100 series. Colors are over the top and incorrect (ad states they are factory correct- that is a laugh!) and should not have two toning on the fenders. Seller clearly does not know a lot about this car. Here is the article excerpted on the internet. they are calling it an Advanced Eight here and stating it has the 133" WB and the larger engine. But the body plate clearly says "1083". Has this car been mis identified all these years? https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1932-nash-advanced-eight

All incorrect in terms of color and such but if it's turnkey, running driving car, its a steal!

Wow! Never heard of these. Learn something every day. Doesn't look like they would evacuate built up heat very well.

Sounds like its on the buyer, like it almost always is!

Yes, Nash offered OHV engines (both 6 and 8 cyl) standard on their upper end models starting around 1928 I think. They also continued to produce both flathead 6's and flathead 8's concurrently. Most of the OHV engines were also Twin Ignition (2 spark plugs per cylinder).

Not mine, no affiliation. Beautiful 1936 Ford phaeton four-door convertible. Has 1939 juice brakes very very clean car, V8 motor. Has been off the road for a number of years, currently runs. Comes with everything, and is a beautiful example of a Ford from that era. deal? https://www.facebook.com/share/kFthGcZHnGkq12wg/?mibextid=79PoIi

Basically any color car other than black would have been a two tone. Nash usually had different "standard" 2 tone schemes for each model and body style. The club library should have the info. I believe you could custom order any "stock" color scheme on any model for extra charge. Most of them were fairly subdued. Browns, greens, maroons, grays. Usually with cream pin striping.

Agreed. I don't know why anyone buys Model A's when you can get much superior cars for the same or less money. You should join the Nash Club of America- its a great value and you will get access to a wealth of information.

It's not even yellow. I'd call it "putty". A slightly peachy, non metallic tan. Basically a dirty white!

Congrats! I think you got a good deal. Was thinking of looking at this one but hadn't made it out there yet. And truth be told was a bit more of a project than I was looking for. But it is definitely a car deserving of a proper resurrection. Would have liked to have seen it 20 years or so ago before it was primered and left outside. Have you owned other Nashes? Can't wait to see your progress!

Rare and excellent color combo! Poor presentation. Paint condition is suspect but hard to determine when wet. This is a Limited "Collectors Edition" (featuring the interior out of the 1984 and earlier Park Avenue), though the unique hood ornament is missing. Might clean up nicely. Never seen a Limited with these base wheel covers on it. Most had wires or alloys. Too bad they didn't list it for $2k before they put $2500 into it.

Very "blah" color combo, but one of the nicest looking GM's of the 80's and one of my favorite interior designs of all time. These cars look great in dark colors that show off the chrome. Interior is showing some wear and tear. Broken handle on LR interior door pull, armrest wear, etc.

There is a long shed/carport in front of the car visible in some of the photos. I assume that is where it was stored. I don't recall any Packards being listed in RI recently.

What was his Packard? How was it stored? Has he sold other cars before?

Remnant of rodent nest (acorn bits) on top of engine? More acorns on front floor. One of the boxiest bodies ever but has a certain charm. Appears interior was restored incorrectly many years ago. Front seats look like jump seats out of a 7 passenger sedan but I believe they are original except upholstery.

This thing is really scary looking. Wouldn't want to consider buying without laying eyes on it. Guess someone is up for it!

That's a no contest. Pretty much any brand 1963 car would be more desirable than that same brand's 1970 models.

Where is this ad posted? Area just over the windshield looks very strange. Almost like the w/s is falling out.

Classic sign of a quick flip...they aren't patient enough to wait til its off the trailer to take their pictures.

Because they know deep down it will need way more work than that!

A Plymouth priced like a Packard!
