The Nash Ambassador is a luxury automobile produced by Nash Motors from 1927 until 1957. It was a top trim level for the first five years, then from 1932 on a standalone model. Ambassadors were lavishly equipped and beautifully constructed, earning them the nickname "the Kenosha Duesenberg".[2][3]
For a period between 1929 and 1934, when Nash produced a line of seven-passenger saloons and limousines, the Ambassador series was the maker's "flagship",[4] and remained so following the Nash-Hudson merger in 1954. The newly formed American Motors Corporation (AMC) continued the Nash Ambassador. From 1958 until 1965, the cars were named Rambler Ambassador. They were marketed from 1966 through 1974 model years as the AMC Ambassador.[5] The ongoing use of the Ambassador model name by successive companies made it "one of the longest-lived automobile nameplates in automotive history" as of the late-1970s.[6]
