1947 Nash Ambassador Woodie

Everyone who knows fine cars knows that here is one of America’s truly great automobiles…

for with its famous valve-in-head engine, its 112 horsepower, the Super Series Nash Ambassador

is the most powerful 6-cylinder car in America.*

*A Nash cars slogan from back in the days and still lives up to its high standards today.

After World War II, Nash, like many American automakers, faced a double-edged sword. The market for new automobiles was roaring and unlike any ever before, but at the same time, competition was absolutely brutal. Virtually every automaker was returning to post-war production with its warmed-over 1942 design. Nash required something new and different, that may not, necessarily, sell in large quantities, but would serve as a “draw” for showrooms.

The Suburban coachwork was based on the handsome “slipstream” sedan, a classic 1940s streamlined design.
