Vehicle Description
1937 Nash Ambassador. While Daryl Hemken was traveling on a
national auto tour in 1979, he came across this 1937 Nash
Ambassador in Minnesota. He wasted no time when he got home. He
quickly returned to the Nash location and brought it back to his
collection. This is a running, driving vehicle though brakes may
need replacement. It has a 322ci twin-ignition overhead valve
straight 8 engine, hydraulic brakes, and overdrive, which was very
unusual in 1937. Nash began using the Ambassador name for its most
luxurious models in 1927 and competed with the likes of Packard,
Lincoln, and Duesenberg in the grand luxury category. In 1937 the
Sinclair Oil Company sponsored a baseball contest with Babe Ruth
where a 1937 Nash Ambassador Eight sedan was given away every week.
