From 16mm Kodachrome. This was meant to be spliced into hunting and fishing films for clubs and organizations. Note all the practical features that would still apply today.
I had a 1953 Nash Statesman back in 1977-1979. It was a great car, but no big performer with it's L-head six. Definitely not a babe-magnet, but an interesting and unusual car. The Nash's of this era resembled over-turned bathtubs. You either liked them or loathed them..... thanks.
Way back in the early 60s as a little kid, I could still get a glimpse what the 50s must have been like. The mid- century modern styling still lingered in the homes of family and friends and in stores around the neighborhood. And in many homes, there remained furnishings and appliances of the 30s and 40s. And yet in almost new condition! Different times....🤔
"keeps out mosquitoes, great horned owls, etc..." (I don't recall any '51 Nash minus the two right-side doors!) And I think they lost the outboard motor in the 1952 Statesman, too...
I just picked up a 66 Rambler American wagon 200 bucks! hardly any rust hasnt run since 1992 its puring now! just trying to find some front brake drums!
@@deepbludude4697 Those AMCs use bolt-on front spindles. This makes a disc brake conversion pretty simple. Find the setup from a later Hornet or Concord - spindles, rotors and calipers along with the proportioning valve and dual chamber master cylinder and you have a massive upgrade in safety and drivability. The parts are very common Ford pieces that AMC bought, so parts availability is a breeze.
My grandfather had a Nash Ambassador in the city of Joanopolis, São Paulo state, southeast of Brazil. at the 50's. I don't know the car but my father tell me about the great suspension and confort. Very good car.
I'm Tom Bowdett and this the Nash Ambassador and we'll leave the bed turned down for the sports fisherman!

I realy like nash and hudson cars. They were innovative and well made. 25 mpg for 1950's was excellent!!!. Thanks for this video.

I liked the tongue and cheek narration. 😀
This model is 1 year older than MY model year. I always loved these and the Hudsons of the same time.

The "Brokeback Mountain" of car commercials.
Those early fifties Nash cars are ugly. 😮
I want one! Thanks for the video.

The great horned owls said "screw these screens, we'll just pull the doors off!"
@@fordtruxdad5155Great horned owls are tough.
I was conceived in the back of one of these cars sometime in 1952.
Should make some mosquito screens for my 64 Ambassador.

Almost a little too cozy in there.
