Hi!
We're back after another long Canadian winter! I've been pretty busy with customer cars, but I did manage to pick up a couple more units for us to enjoy!
This time it's a 1952 Nash Ambassador Custom 4 door sedan. I like the unique styling and interesting engineering of these Nashes; they certainly look like nothing else on the road.
These were unibody cars since before the war, and the skrted-wheel styling (with supposed input from famous Italian design house Farina) gives them a look that is unmistakable and unique.
This particular car is the top-of-the-line model, with nice touches like beautiful green-tinted glass, radio, and GM's Hydramatic automatic transmission. It looks like this car was parked when it was fairly new after a sideswipe accident probably wrote it off. The owner must have kept the car intending to fix it, and never did... Maybe I should repair it? I'd sure like to get it going, but it's pretty rough after being stored outside for many years. It is mostly complete, and has only about 25000 miles showing.
Well, either way, it's the last independent manufacturer I needed to have all of the 5 major postwar independents for the CWMC used-car lot! Let's line it up there with the Packard, Hudson, Studebaker, and Kaiser!
Thanks for watching this stuff, and for subscribing! Lots more to come this summer now that the snow is finally gone.
Cheers!

I think that '52 Nash will still run! in l990 I was selling cars at a buy-here pay-here lot in Denver. we took a '73 AMC Matador in trade. ugly as sin and almost no oil in it. there was a cold snap in late November. got down to -25. the only car on the lot that kicked right over was...the '73 Matador.

Reminded me of my first car I bought, which was only this past january lol. I went to look at a '64 Impala and it was about 20 degrees out, it was sitting the past 8 months with a dead battery, old oil, and bad plugs, started up immediately with a new battery and I bought it a few weeks later :D Love my '64 ss!

In 1960 the family car was a Rambler Cross Country wagon. It was a pretty decent car. In '64 it was traded in for a Tempest custom with the 326. In '66 I got my learner's permit and finally flew solo the following year. Is that a carter YH underneath the snow?

One difference between the 1952 and 1953 Ambassador and Stateman is that the 1953 has chrome teeth in the air intake under the windshield. Please fix this one, don't part it out and scrap it.

They started to put the AMC 327 eights in these in 56 so you have another engine choice. One of the hood ornimetes was of a lady swimming! Gas cap was behind the chrome above right rear tail light.

Owned a 54' Ambassador in the 60's, it was my Grandad's before. Ran fine, not dent or broken anything in it. Straight six, dual side draft carbs, three on the tree, "real" overdrive planetary transmission. Seats made a full bed. Weird starter switch on the clutch pedal. Continental wheel on the back. Wish I had it now, who knew?

The first car I remember my mom driving was a 1950 Nash Statesman. Somehow my dad found it sitting in the weeds in someone's backyard. I was about four at the time. I went with them as they took a logging chain and pulled the thing out. It was love at first sight. Only took me about forty years to own one of my own....

One more suggestion next time you buy tires get you some toyo Eclipse white walls definitely need white walls on that year. The Toyota Eclipse makes a maximum load range tire in a white wall that will handle the weight of a big vehicle and still makes a white wall for reasonable price.
