Leif in Calif Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Love the steering wheel, hate the headlight visors. More pics and copy in ad.... https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/newark-1948-nash-ambassador-sedan/7600463448.html Prior to the current owners purchase, the car was in an indoor classic car museum. The current owner purchased the car in 2020 in order to lessen the mileage driven on his 1934 Packard. He has further refreshed the vehicle with new tires/tubes, generator re-do and cooling and engine systems refurbished and new u-joints installed. Included are many manuals and receipts for work done. The car starts easily and runs quietly and cool. It is comfortable on the show field but is really at home at a Sunday ride for ice cream or a road trip.

Fossil Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Smoley hokes that looks nice. If it runs and drives as nice as it looks, the price seems fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 This looks like a nice car at a slightly elevated price (although it sounds like a lot of work has been done on it asumming the history is accurate). I live nearby, and would be happy to go and take a look if anyone here is interested. Just PM me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Depends on if it’s a 6 or 8 in my opinion. $20,000 is too much for a 6. $20,000 is likely too much for an 8 but to a Nash collector maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Looked at the additional photos, it’s a 6 cylinder. Lose the stupid headlight brows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B. Jake: The 260.8 ci straight eight wasn't returned to production for postwar Ambassadors, the 1942 Series 4280 were the last eight-cylinder Nashes until the Packard-sourced 1955 Ambassador V8 Series 80.

Steve Thanks Steve! I did not know that but it makes a lot of sense. Early postwar anything a manufacturer made sold. And why bring in an 8 cylinder ? Number 2 is my knowledge that Nash’s bathtubs were all 6 cylinders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 To me it’s a very attractive car that has seen a lot of care. I am one of the few out there that like tans and beige cars. Look at how the chrome and stainless pop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those headlight brows are forbidden here in Belgium .When you hit a unlucky pedestrian with those things you can hurt or kill him .And then your insurance will not cover you as you should not have them . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are silly AND dangerous. The owner should have just used the much safer eyelashes: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Those aren’t silly at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmac Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 This is a car I would love to own. The headlight eyebrows would be gone within the first 60 seconds of my possession and the visor 5 minutes later....then I'd drive and enjoy the car as is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
