I've had a reqest from a fellow in Florida, who's trying to identify the car in this picture. The child being held up in the picture by his father ( taken about 1956 ) is who's asking now what his father's car was.

I'm guessing mid to late - forties Nash, but someone probably can do a better ID than that for us?

Thanks in advance.

This car is either a 49 or a 50 Nash. It was likely a '600' or a 'Statesman'.Those two years were virtually identical. It apparently has a visor which on a Nash had to fasten on the roof above the middle of the windshield. Nash had a one piece windshield so that was the only way it would work. Two door Nashes were not all that common.

Thank you Hudzilla -- I knew there'd be one of "us" that would know the scoop on this car !

Does that Nash have the shorter front clip? The Ambassador had the larger front clip. Both models were the same from the cowl back, just like the Hudson Hornet and Wasp. Some Ambassador 2 doors had rear seats angled toward each other, called the Brougham. Which are very rare. See page 91 of the American Motors Family Album.

It is a 1949 Nash 600.

I have one forsale.

I don't doubt you, but I am curious, how can you tell a '49 from a '50 at this angle?
