Why This Car Is Special

The Nash Ambassador is a luxury automobile that was produced by Nash Motors from 1927 until 1957. Ambassadors were lavishly equipped and beautifully constructed, earning them the nickname “the Kenosha Duesenberg."

Nash merged with Hudson in 1954 and from 1958 until 1965 these cars were named Rambler Ambassador and then from the 1966 through 1974 model years as the AMC Ambassador. The continued use the Ambassador model name made it "one of the longest-lived automobile nameplates in automotive history."

We have a time-capsule of a 1955 Nash Ambassador Super for sale here at Skyway Classics with what appears to be the with a few exceptions, original paint, interior, and engine.

Packard’s Ultramatic two-speed automatic transmission shifts normally and moves the power to the yellow painted steel wheels with chrome Nash hubcaps and wide whitewall tires.
