1948 Nash ambassador custom Cabriolet, finally a Nash! 

Bingo you got it =) It was playing in the background when I shot this video too I thought that would be the perfect song going to do beep beep what eventually do a Nash rambler =) Be sure to tune in Wednesday to catch that pierce arrow episode at 4:30 Eastern standard time

Haha yeah =) it was playing in the background when shooting this car and then Felton I mean Elton John with Levon

I totally agree I was really surprised not to see leather being used as the seat material, Beings this is a convertible

Agreed! Like Jewelry as Jay said.

Great story thank you so much for sharing those memories =)

Awesome thank you so much for sharing that insight as well as story and information how did you guys like the ambassador compared to some of the other Mopar cars at the time?

I got to drive a few last year, =)

Yeah it is =)

=)

Yeah I know right

Glad you dig this episode =)

Awesome thank you so much for sharing your insight and experience with your dad’s car it sounds like it was pretty awesome

Those lines are simply gorgeous =)

Is it, this is 1948 I was always under the impression that overhead valve was applied to the 196 in.³ displacement flathead engine in 1955 One vote for Hudson Cross country wagon

@@What.its.like. They still offered the flathead. If you see a bare bones American it will likely have a flathead.

You are right, I had to go look down a rabbit hole I was so afraid to call it the wrong thing because Willis did the same thing almost and there’s so much conflicting information out there but I found this which was very intriguing www.allpar.com/threads/nash-engines.229884/

Awesome thank you so much for all that information =)

Why don't you drive it? That's what convertibles are for

One vote for Hudson =)

Totally agree

All of those have videos associated with them so the Franklin will be coming soon pierce arrow is coming Wednesday Classic Automall five hours down the road for me so I generally when I go I try to shoot 20 to 30 cars in one day and then that way I have enough content to last a month =)

Yeah I was intrigued to learn that it started in 41 I didn’t know it went back that far I thought it started in the 50s =)

That’s crazy I never really saw these out and about but I did see if you had a car show like I saw a 1949 Nash airflight for the very first time I was probably 14 years old and I was just absolutely in awe of it, I was 14 in the early 2000s and think about the cars that are on the road then versus that automobile it just looked like nothing else that I’ve ever seen before

That’s awesome I would love to see pictures of it when it’s done if you have a Facebook go to the description and find us on Facebook and post your pictures of you building the car I’m sure everybody would love to see it =) Glad you dig this channel =)

Sweet choices

PA? Yeah it’s going to be a very in-depth episode talking about Pierce arrow as a company they offered a lot of different services built bicycles built motorcycles travel trailers trucks, it might be late the episode I’m still trying to find some information about some different aspects of that car that I just can’t find. I’m really good at finding information but this car is getting the better of me. Lol One vote for galaxy

It’s hard to believe that that’s a Jimmy Buffett song, it doesn’t have anything to do with going to the beach or getting wasted.. lol it’s a good mellow tune.

@@What.its.like. it always gets on my playlist

Hey how’s it been miss seeing you in the comments =)

@@What.its.like. hi sir, yep crazy times so I binge watch at times to catch up.Keep up the great work!!

Sweet =)

One vote for Hudson cross country =)

Yeah I was surprised to see that as well because GM sold the Hydra Matic to anybody that would buy it, Nash did offer it but it wasn’t until 1950..

One vote for Hudson I’m a huge orphan car fan if you can’t tell lol when I went to classic auto Mall I wanted to shoot 25 cars I ended up shooting 15 cars six of which were Hudsons two of them have already been featured so we still have four more left in the pipeline.. there’s a couple that I haven’t shared footage of yet

Sweet I’ll put you down for one vote each

That’s awesome thank you so much for sharing that memory they got a lot of use out of that car.. there is a 52 statement at classic automotive but it’s currently buried I would love to do a video with it.. i’m into the upside down bathtub vibe, my favorite is the Rambler wagon for little tiny one the two-door version that is my favorite Nash

@@What.its.like. don't forget the Metropolitan!!! A real cutie!! 😁

I will own a metropolitan one day

One vote for the Hudson cross country and awesome choices

Ha Hah Hah Hah sweet you’re the only person that answered all of them that’s awesome one vote for 55 Hudson

Thank you so much for sharing that information as well as the story what great memories =)

Body color dashes persisted into the 1960's.

Ha!

Sweet one vote for the Volvo and one vote for the galaxie =)

Awesome choices I’ll put you down for a vote for all three

Oddly, you're kind of right!

Yeah there was all kinds of aftermarket gauges I didn’t show various different fuel switches it was interesting.

Awesome story thank you so much for sharing that memory

Awesome one vote for Volvo =)

Sweet one vote for Ford galaxy, If it doesn’t win for Thursday don’t worry it’s coming up I shot episodes of all the cars that were on that poll

Awesome thank you so much for that information I was a little confused by that because somebody told me that overdrive is automatic if you just push the pedal down I believe it’s halfway once it’s in third gear it slips into overdrive

We have it in my buddies car. Near Wilkes Barre

That Nash was awesome in person great choices one vote for Volvo P 1800

Bingo you got it. five points to Gryffindor

Suburban was the one I was thinking of =)

@@What.its.like. Oh I forgot about that one.

Great choices =)

Awesome one vote for Hudson and one vote for Volvo =)

Suburban.. 1935-present day

One vote for Ford galaxie

Awesome choices one vote for Hudson cross country =)

Hahaha nice =)

You got it suburban was the one I was thinking of.. A friend of mine has a 61 Rambler classic wagon and he parked in front of a 1965 for you and Jackson stingray nobody went and looked at that car everybody was fucking around the cross country rambler wagon because it’s still out there and so cool and very few people have that car now where is everybody in their mom seems to have a 65 Corvette (not a fuelie but still) The guy came up to him and said I don’t like parking next to you don’t park in front of me again lol 😂, same show it’s on Father’s Day which I honestly can’t wait to go back is a huge show a 1932 Packard was driving behind me when I was pulling in I just couldn’t take my eyes off that car. Neither could anyone else like time stopped as it drove in. I would love to find a suburban when researching this car those are like six figures there’s only like a handful known to survive.. Great choice =)

Awesome which do you like better?

It's hard to pick one, but the Rambler has been in our family since new. My grandfather bought it in August 1962, so I suppose it wins because of that fact. There's a RU-vid channel called AutoMoments, and it has a video featuring my Rambler

Send me the link I’ll check it out

Sweet choice =)

One vote for Hudson cross country And you can bet that we will cover the 49 and 50 Nash all of their models one day =)

That’s awesome how did you like the car =)

Awesome information =) Great choices one vote for Volvo P1800

awesome One vote for the Nash rambler wagon

That's exactly how I'd the schedule...but I'd like to know how all of them have managed with the glovebox test.

if it doesn’t get voted for Monday it will definitely get covered I shot the videos for all of those episodes are ready, The only downer is because that car was at a museum I wasn’t allowed to get in it so there isn’t a go a box test it doesn’t really show how much space there is in it that is one of my favorite wagons of all time. And I never knew that they had a Hudson badge associated with them I always thought it was the Nash rambler cross country. That will definitely be a fun episode =) One vote for Hudson Rambler

The ambassador didn’t have a glove box I don’t know what happened to the footage because somebody took the clock out and put the fuel gauge there they took the bottom of the glove box out so I wasn’t able to do the glove box test on that the museum cars I wasn’t allowed in them so none of them have glove test which is totally unfortunate. That’s one of my favorite segments of the show

Sweet I would totally be interested in doing that where are you located =)

Jimmy Buffett someone already got it I wouldn’t think that he was a country singer but I’m struggling to think what genre he would be associated with. One vote for Volvo P1800 (I sort of wish that it was one from the 60s that’s one of the best dashboards ever made in my humble opinion)

Awesome choices as it stands right now it’s going to be really close between the 55 Hudson cross country or the Volvo P 1800, I have to get to a desktop computer and update that I wish I gave actual votes and not percentages One vote for P 1800

That’s a great guess the longest running nameplate is suburban Awesome choice

Sweet one vote for 1961 Ford galaxie

Oh that stuff is a distraction, to keep you from looking around at how cheaply everything is made now =)

@@What.its.like. Ha! You're right about that!

Awesome choices 5 points awarded to Gryffindor for the correct answer also bonus points for all the added information and names that you also brought to light One vote for Hudson cross country

Totally agree I will see this I wish it was a 60s Volvo the dashboard is one of the most awesome dashboards in the 60s for the P 1800 =) don’t get me wrong 73 isn’t bad but it’s not what it was One vote of p1800

As driven by Roger Moore in "The Saint."

Sweet choices One vote for Ford galaxie

The crazy thing is is if you read the fine print it’s only up to about 40 mph if you go faster it gets less fuel economy.. even with overdrive

@@What.its.like. That is true of any car, as the gear ratio is designed for max fuel economy at say 55 MPH, while at 70, you are pushing the car and losing substantial MPG. Nash was a really great innovated car; however, the Big Three decided to play politics and that ended "great innovation" for profit, the true American Way. A good example is the Tucker. For its time and future, the Tucker showed what is possible.

Thank you so much for adding all of that information Chevy suburban was the answer that I was looking for. But you get bonus points for Gryffindor because of all of the other names you brought to light One vote for Hudson cross country

That’s been on the radar.. really want to cover that car =)

@@What.its.like. Awesome, thanks! BTW: if you find one, I highly doubt you will fit in the back seat, but it might be fun to see you try😁. I could get back there, but I'm only 5/8" and back then only weighed 125! That has changed a bit since then. 😒

I remember 1971 as being the first year for the Capri, but haven't seen one for a long time.

@@ernielaw I haven't seen one in 40+ years! I bought mine in 75 and it was a total rust-bucket when I sold it in spring of 77! Fun car, though hopelessly under-powered with it's 1.3. My buddies would kick my butt on the straightaway, but if I lured them to a twisty road, which I did as often as possible, I wiped them up! Great memories!

That episode coming next week

Sweet one vote for hudson

Haha year one day I was going to try to grow the base I knew where there is a really awesome storied 1965 T5 Mustang muscle cars don’t do well on this channel so that’s why I was waiting to grow the base a little bit before pursuing that car that owner also has a Lamborghini jalapa that I wanna do

Sweet choice =)

Awesome one vote for Ford galaxie

I see stuff like that to include everybody plus it’s a good word for a dude. I really don’t watch that many British car shows aside from Top Gear/the grand tour and car wow

@@What.its.like. I know...I'm just having a little fun there. 😁

Awesome choices one vote for Ford =)

Sweet choices one vote for the Hudson cross country wagon

Five points the Gryffindor, you got it

That’s the one I was thinking about =)

@@What.its.like. Great minds think alike, and so do ours...😅

Totally agree one vote for Hudson The owner told me what he paid for it it was unbelievable I don’t think I’m allowed to disclose that information

I know where a tow truck is

@@What.its.like. if you haven't done an episode on that then, in my humble opinion, you should. The Hudson was my favorite, no one knows truck, followed by the even more rare Nash. Great work, I appreciate your efforts sir.

Thank you glad you dig this channel

One vote for Volvo

Awesome choices One vote for a Volvo P1800

I’m assuming so because this car does not look like it’s painted with basecoat clearcoat it has more of a duller luster to it like the cars would’ve had

Yeah the 600 used a smaller different engine ads claiming 25/30 mpg Thank you for that correction I meant to change it to 234.5 instead of 235 the source that I used rounded it I want to do a Nash healey like nobody’s business this year I wanted to hit that car last year.. they are so hard to find

@@What.its.like. I don't have any problems rounding on cubic inches, I was surprised they described it like that. It must have been important in the advertisement once.

Yeah but remember Lincoln in the mid 60s that car weighed 5000 pounds and it was unibody.. 3500 lbs is nothing compared to that car

Nash looks so much better

That’s the one congratulations you get five points, =)
