Six cylinders only
postwar changes were mostly cosmetic: A new wider front grille, a new hood badge and turn signals moved from the front fender tops to inboard from the headlights. During this period, the ambassadors wheelbase remained 121 in., the same as before the war, although the cars grew a little in length. The chrome side molding was removed from the 1948 ambassadors for a cleaner look. After the war the ambassador series with the eight-cylinder engine was dropped, leaving only the series with the 234.8-cu.-in. Six.
four sedans and a convertible
the nash ambassador models were divided for 1948 into super and custom lines. The supers consisted of four sedans: The two-door brougham and three four-doors the slip
stream fast back, the trunk, and the suburban, which had wooden side panels in the style of the chrysler town country. In place of the suburban in the custom line was the two-door cabriolet, nashs first convertible since 1941 and the last full-sized nash convertible ever made, although a compact version would be introduced two years later.
Despite being essentially the same as the pre-world war 11 ambassador, the 1948 model sold very well. |
