1950 Nash Ambassordor Custom Sedan

This car was part of the Art Astor Collection, auctioned June 27, 2008 in California by the RM Auction Firm.

The car was sold at a price of $33,000. The buyer shipped the car to Massachusetts and while in storage storm damage occurred. Sheet metal damage was limited to the hood, roof, trunk and fender. The hood, trunk and fender were replaced and repaired to the highest standards. No glass, frame or engine damage occurred. The car remains original with the recent addition of a new correct headliner. Equipped with a Hydra-Matic transmission, the car is mechanically sound throughout and runs and drives without issues. This car is one of the finest examples of the marque featured in several publications ( see cover of Nash calendar). The RM auction notes are as follows.
