The stylish 'Sunset Maroon' paint work compliments this vehicles tanned vinyl and cloth upholstery brilliantly. Combined with its stylish chrome bumpers, grill and symbolic bonnet emblem the Nash Custom Convertible had a unique yet desirable aesthetic appearance. Resting on white wall tyres, this collector piece is ready to be driven or appreciated for the historic beauty it is as a showpiece.

Linked with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this example was extraordinary to drive.

The Nash Ambassador was produced from 1932 to 1957. The 1948 lines of manufacturing had become the most expensive Nash of these years and is highly prized by collectors.
