for sale
Price: US $36,000.00
Price: US $36,000.00
I am offering this very rare Nash Ambassador Custom Cabriolet for auction. I bought this car 30 miles from where it was produced in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This car had never left the neighborhood until I purchased it. This car runs and drives beautifully. The engine has seven main bearings which creates a very balanced and smooth running engine. Does not leak oil and does not smoke. Brand new wide white wall tires with less than 200 miles on them. This is one of 1, 000 ever produced. It is believed that there are less than 200 to exist today. I can only find one for sale in the country which is priced at $150, 000. This car is priced well below one third of his asking price. If you can find another one let me know and I will buy it. Car is being sold locally and I reserve the right to end the auction any time I wish. Car has a clear Wisconsin title. Car does have overdrive. Serious bidders only please.
