    My Father had a Nash and B&D circular saw just like the ones in the video. The saw is most likely from the late 60's or early 70's. Heavy and powerful saw that you could lock the safety out on.
    Nice solid car that should be saved. Glad you did the video..

    Benny you’re on fire 🔥 with the classics. Can’t believe how solid this ole Nash is. That’s some real Texas toast patina. But just surface rust.

    Whoa Nelley, 1952 and it's over for you. I'm going to say 1970s on that B&D saw, but they would tell you if you sent in the model number and probably send you a copy of the manual if you asked. Some of the patents come back to the 1970s, so it's at least that old. Yup, likely made in USA in Towson, MD where they were once based. I just recently got a Sears Craftsman "315" model prefix saw from someone, and exact duplicate of one someone gave me. This one off of CL was free (as was the other) one and I dated it to 1978. It still had the original case and manual as well as the original sales receipt from Monday October 30, 1978. Since my uncle's neighbor worked for Sears from 1953 to 1993, I'm betting he might have even sold it. The person I got it from said it belonged to his dad. You've come across Oxedine before in previous videos. I believe it was a small chain of them in the south. I believe Driveshaft King may be at that location shown on the receipt. The original engine would be a 253 CID straight six engine.
    We got the VIN, we win: A for Nash Ambassador and the rest is the production sequence with the likely production being at Kenosha, WI which eventually became part of AMC and then Chrysler and closed in 1988 as an assembly plant but continued onward as an engine assembly plant for a number of years after that. No, this has a dual range GM sourced Hydramatic automatic transmission as you found the badge that said "Hydramatic". Nash-Kelvinator was eventually split off with Kelvinator going to White Consolidated Industries and what's left of it is part of Electrolux now. We got the tag, we can brag: 5275 for 1952 (52) Nash Ambassador Super four door sedan (75), 39-38 for Academy Blue (39) and Tuxedo Blue (38) exterior paint, 102 is possibly Black interior trim.
    Whoa Nelley, the Nash got turned into trash. 1952 and it's through. That's it, time to quit. Ambassador four door sedan is ready for the trash can. Straight six hit the bricks. Going to be flat and that's that. Lots of junk in the trunk. Saw by B&D and it's for me. Soon to be flat and leave the chat. Going to get squished and the independent maker faithful, many here, and only for rarity's sake, the Google Man are going to be pissed.

      Never wanted an AMC or Rambler because my uncle, who had the junkyard, cursed them from no end working on them. Besides the Jeep Renegade and truck, l had l got the 69 Ambassador SST with the 343 is when l started appreciating AMC products and always wanted a Javelin but never obtained one.

    I own a 57, they are great cars, use to be used as Police Cars........the nick name is a "bathtub" Nash.....because if you turned it upside down, the body of the car looks like a bath tub.....or turn a bath tub up down........that's so solid too, it's unit body so they rust pretty bad up north. The part you didn't know was the top of the tail lamp which one side also housed the gas filler hole.

    Where did they get Packard? The emblem with "Nash" on it is still on the grille of this beauty. I wonder if that inline 6 is the same engine that was used for decades, all the way into the 1990s on most Jeeps? If so, they have been known to be nearly bulletproof, kind of like GM's 3800 V6.

      @googleusergp 19 часов назад +1

      They are sold on Ebay all the time. In some states, it is legal to reuse them and have them put back into the system and reassigned to a car. I've done it on my three classics. The '80 Trans Am has the original plate on it from 1980, the 1979 Trans Am has plates from my brother in law's car from the 1980s and my '84 Delta 88 has my grandfather's 1979 Caprice plates on it.
