1942
Ambassador
600
172.6
flathead six cylinder, 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive,
Deluxe exterior package which includes: deluxe bumpers & guards,
chrome fender trim, front fender lamps, license lamp wings, chrome
window trim, chrome running board moldings, Deluxe interior package
which includes: chrome door trim, garnish molding ornaments,
wood-grained garnish moldings, engine-turned instrument panel
overlays, clock, cigarette lighter, Deluxe steering wheel, floor mat
carpet inserts and dual horns. Also equipped with Weather-Eye,
trim rings, dual outside rearview mirrors, exhaust tip, two-tone
paint—Shoal Green & Whaler Green, and optional 6.00-16
tires. Sold new in Charles City, Iowa, this is one of only
about 30,000 1942 Nashes made. Production was about half of
normal due to our entry into World War II. There are only 9
1942 Nashes listed in the Nash Car Club of America roster, and this
is the only 600 2-door fastback listed. Original paint and interior.
1947
Ambassador
Super
4
door Trunkback sedan with 234.8 cubic inch overhead valve six and 3
speed manual transmission with overdrive. Nicely equipped with
optional overdrive, Weather-Eye heating system, wide white wall
tires, wheel trim rings and dual outside mirrors. The only trim level
offered for 1947 was the "Super" and it was applied to all
models except the wood bodied Suburbans. An Ambassador like this one
was the Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500 on May 30th, 1947. It would
be the only time that a Nash, Rambler or AMC product would enjoy that
honor. With an overhauled engine and transmission and refurbished
fuel and brake systems, it runs and drives beautifully. The
46-48 model years are some of the most popular with members of
the Nash Car Club of America. With their classic styling, rugged
drive trains and good parts availability, it's easy to see why.
1950
Ambassador
Custom
One
of only 1,045 Custom two door sedans made in 1950, 234.8 cubic inch
overhead valve six cylinder engine
with
3 speed transmission and overdrive. Equipped with optional
deluxe radio including rear speaker and
floor
control, right hand reclining seat with factory-installed seat belt
(the first used on a U.S. made car!), Weather-Eye heating system,
Petty flying lady hood ornament and white wall tires. Nile
Green exterior with Hunter's Green interior. This car was
manufactured in California at the Nash factory in El Segundo and was
in Arizona since 1953, until I bought it and had it transported to
Ohio in May of 2011. 1950 Nash production set an all-time
record with over 191,000 cars produced. The full size cars from
Nash in 1950 were the most aerodynamic built in the U.S., with a
coefficient of drag (Cd) of .43.
1955
Ambassador Custom Lemans
252.6
overhead valve six with dual side draft carbs, Hydramatic
transmission, tinted glass, factory rear wiper, Duo-coustic radio,
factory electric antenna, continental kit, two tone paint - Bermuda
Green and Snowberry White, ventshades, back up lights and door edge
guards. My five brothers and I bought this car for my Dad for
Father's Day in 1976 and I drove it from the used car lot in Lake
Wales home to Sebring that year. I bought it from Dad and got
it hauled up here to Ohio in '08 — so 33 years later I got to
drive it again after a freshening up from its 25 year storage.
It's a smooth, powerful road car and at over 18 feet long, with the
widest seats and biggest windshield of all American made cars in
1955, it's great out on the Interstate!

1958
Rambler Custom
195.6
overhead valve six with one barrel carburetor, push button automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, Weather-Eye delete,
dual
custom outside mirrors, optional factory day-night inside mirror,
optional 6.70-15 white wall tires, auxiliary cigarette lighter, back
up lights, windshield washers, door edge guards, center pillar
stainless overlay kit and Alamo Beige paint. I believe the
first owner of this car was from St. Petersburg, Florida, which helps
explain the deleted heater; but I know from growing up in Florida
that there are plenty of times that the heater and defroster would
come in mighty handy. It's hard to believe someone would order
power steering and power brakes and then have it built without the
famous AMX/Rambler/Nash Weather-Eye. The engine and
transmission were rebuilt in 1986 and it's only been driven about 50
miles since then, so I'll get to break it in this summer.
1968
Ambassador SST
343-4V
with automatic on the floor, factory air, power steering, power drum
brakes, electric wipers, AM-FM radio with floor mounted (factory)
8-track, bucket seats with console and center folding armrest, vinyl
top and a LH remote outside mirror. This car was purchased new by
the parents of the man that bought my '69 AMX new. It was sold
at Grimsley Motors in Wauchula, Florida. It has over 130,000 miles on
it, and the interior is near perfect. The paint is faded in places
from the wonderful Florida sun, and it has a few dings & dents,
but is in really good condition overall. I added the correct '68 AMC
Mag-Style wheels (even thougth they were technically not available on
the Ambassador that year), and the red line B.F. Goodrich radials. I
also added a rear sway bar. It drives out great!
1969
AMX
390,
four-speed with factory Hurst shifter, Go Pack, AM-FM radio, clock,
light group, quick ratio manual steering, Mag-Style wheels, right
hand outside mirror and front underbody spoiler. I bought this
car in the fall of 1971. It now has over 125,000 miles and was
treated to a body, interior, and underhood restoration that was
started in October of 2002 and finished in June of 2003.
Ten days after finishing it, I drove it to Florida for my
30th high school reunion. I was the only one there with
the same car they had in high school. It was a 2,200 mile
round trip done in a day and a half down and a day and a half
back, and it ran perfectly. It's a blast to drive!
1970
Ambassador DPL
360
(originally 390) with column shift automatic, power steering, tilt column,
air conditioning, electric wipers, cruise control, power drum
brakes, AM-FM radio, left remote and right companion mirrors,
two-tone paint, electric rear window, Mag-Style wheels, roof rack,
ventshades, rear window air deflector, auxiliary transmission cooler
and Twin-Grip rear axle. I bought this car from Elbert Baggett
in 1993 and have put over 20,000 miles on it since. It now has over
121,000 miles on it. It was my main shop vehicle for years and has
hauled thousands of pounds of AMC parts all over the eastern U.S.
Since I've owned it, I have accumulated all the parts to put the 390
back in it, so it will be back to original eventually. When I'm out
on the road, it gets more attention than my AMX!
1972
Javelin SST
304
with automatic on the floor, air conditioning, power steering,
manual drum brakes, twin canopy vinyl top, stainless steel body side
moldings, AM-FM radio, left hand remote control mirror, slot-style
wheels and light group. It was sold new at my parents' dealership, D
& J Auto Sales & Service in Sebring, FL. and my sister,
Cindy, bought it on October 9th, 1977. It's been in the family ever
since. It currently has over 112,000 miles and has had no major work
done to the engine, transmission or rear axle. Thanks to the two
previous owners, Cindy and Dad, it's in great shape and is a great
example of a stock, unrestored Javelin. It's the one car in my
collection that my wife actually likes to drive.
1987
Eagle Limited
258-2V,
floor shift automatic, Select Drive 4 WD, tilt, AM-FM Cassette ETR
radio, AC, tinted glass, power windows, leather interior, power
seats, power steering, power disc brakes, factory Class III trailer
hitch, rear sway bar, front skid plate, fog lights, rear wiper and
washer, heated rear window, remote control outside mirrors, and wire
wheel covers. This car was built on April 2, 1987 and was sold
new at Thorp-Wysong Motors in Brookville, Ohio. I bought it off
a used car lot in New Lebanon in April of 1996 with 108,000 miles,
and have put over 20,000 miles on it since then. The engine has
never been apart and it runs like a new one! I like the fact
that it's all black. The fender flairs and bumper ends are
unpainted from the factory, so are one less thing to worry about.
