1941 Nash
Ambassador 6
Off-FrameConcoursAward-Winning
Overview
The owner's father bought this Nash new in 1941 — the last year before automobile production stopped and the factories turned to the war effort — and drove it on his honeymoon to Niagara Falls. He eventually sold it. In 1978 his son bought his father's car back, and had it restored by Graveyard Run in his father's honor. It is one of nine known to survive.
We performed a full body-off restoration with zero shortcuts — returning it to concours specification with correct paint, hand-fitted chrome, and a period-correct interior. Paint, wet-sanding, woodgrain, fender skirts — every step was filmed and posted as it happened, from early paint work through the final finishing episodes.
