Vehicle Description
1955 Nash Ambassador Super
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.

Mechanical
In 1955, Packard supplied its 320 cubic inch OHV V-8 to American
Motors for use in Nash and Hudson cars and that is what is in ours
and looks original as does all the other parts and that engine
compartment.
It has the black factory air cleaner on a Carter two-barrel
carburetor and ha a compression ratio of 7.8:1 which allowed the
engine to be rated by the manufacturer at 208 horsepower when
new.
It has the red painted engine block, heads, intake and the valve
covers which wear Nash Ambassador logos, air conditioning, and the
engine in this Super is said to be original to the car and to have
been rebuilt under previous ownership.
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.
Interior
Also according to the seller, the interior of this Nash is
original. The seats are enclosed in the plastic seat covers
reminiscent of the days and show no wear and they have matching
rear seat, door panels, opulent green painted dash with a
compliment of the factory gauges, black two-ring steering wheel,
showing a tad over 59k miles, nice stainless trim on the dash,
column mounted automatic shifter, clock and radio.
Even the trunk looks as new with the trunk mat and the underside of
the trunk lid too.
Exterior
Our 1955 has a tri-color exterior paint job in yellow, with black
sides, and a white top in very good condition and it looks stunning
and as it should for opulent cars in those days.
The chrome appears to be complete and good condition and our Super
is equipped with a Continental kit painted in yellow and black too
with even the 5th hubcap.
It has nice trim on the vent wings, great front and rear chrome
bumpers, twin chrome mirrors, V8 logos on the rear fenders and
Ambassador Super chrome emblems on the front fenders so it lets
people know how special this Nash is when they see it.
