Nash's top model for decades. The Ambassador name first appeared in the late 1920s on the best-trimmed sedan, became the flagship line in the 1930s, and outlived Nash itself, carrying on under Rambler and AMC until 1974. The 1930s cars were big, smooth sixes and eights with Nash's twin-ignition engines.
