The 1948 year for Nash was the last of the convertible designed body styling. An important year in history for this example, 1948 marks the final year before they became the first American manufacturer to commit to full line production. This extremely rare vehicle is 1 of 1,000 built and 1 of only approximately 60 known to exist today.

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.

Powered by what's believed to be the original engine was a 235ci OHV inline 6-cylinder block and was able to produce 112BHP at 3,400 rpm using single carter 1-barrel carburettor with 208NM of torque ready to go. Linked with a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive, this example was extraordinary to drive.

This is a collectable automobile that has been well maintained consistent with collector car standards. Presenting as a fine example of a 1948 Nash Ambassador Custom convertible. This is a vehicle that should be proudly owned, driven and shown.

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.
