A Near its Older Sibling, a Model T quick call and Flyers 12 we made ar- rangements to go see the car in Charlotte, NC. The car was all black with apple green wheels. The interior was camel colored mohair with wood accents around the windows and the dash. Upon further inspection the “wood” was actually painted metal, but it looked good. The car came with the standard 200 cubic inch four cylin- der engine putting out a whopping 45 horsepower. It was a Deluxe model with cowl lights, a single taillight, and dual side mounted spare tires. It had a luggage rack mounted on the rear bumper and an optional single windshield wiper that only cleared the area in front of the driver.

    Volume 58, Issue 1 Feb -March, 2016 1947 Nash Ambassador Suburban: A tale of luck, perseverance, help and adventure By Ron Stein Or “A mother’s nightmare and a teenager’s dream…” Thirty years ago while driving the same old route on Highway 59 going to my office, I happened to glance toward my left - and behind a gas station and hotel sat a maroon four-door unusually shaped 1940’s classic – classic yes, as it had wooden doors and trunk. The next day, I stopped and asked in the hotel if that “woodie” is a guest’s and they reply no. Next stop, the gas station where I inquire and hear “that guy’s car is serviced here.” I ask, “is it for sale?” They don’t know but do know that it is a 1947 Nash and it runs. “Do you have a number where I may reach him?” “Yes, it’s written on the sheetrock wall by the telephone.” I call and hear a ‘please call back’ recording. The next day, Dan calls me back. “No this car is not for sale, I love it.” An AACA Award Winning Newsletter Winning Award An AACA I say, “If it ever becomes for sale please give me a call as it will go to a good home” (A line that all Gulf CoastGulf Region, Houston, Texas car people love to hear).
