Most people born in recent years will never know anything about all the great American manufacturers who used to battle for market share here on their home turf. Nash is one of those companies who’s memory is starting to fade. That is the reason we hope cars like this 1951 Nash Ambassador can be saved for future generations. This one is claimed to be a survivor and can be found here on eBay out of New Haven, Connecticut with bidding currently at $4,250. Thanks goes out to Sean S sending this our way.

The Airflyte styling was unique to say the least. Prospective buyers had to be shocked when they entered the showroom and saw this sitting on the floor. After being convinced that it was possible to change a flat, it was probably an easy sell because these car had some nice features.

Nash dealers liked to brag about their one-piece curved windshield and rear window wiper. That may seem silly today, but back in the fifties innovations like that were a big deal. This sedan is even fitted with some removable bug screens to keep the pests out while letting the cool air in. We are sure they made those warm summer nights at the drive-in a little cooler.

If the movie ended up being a bore, you could always recline the seats and snuggle up. That front bench could actually fold all the way back converting into a bed. This was a family sedan in more ways then one…

This inline-six was fitted with a single barrel carburetor and could be had with a three speed manual or an optional GM automatic. This particular car has supposedly only covered 44k miles since new. We think that claim just might be true considering how much of the car looks to still be original.

The exterior of this upside-down bathtub is also claimed to still be wearing its factory blue paint-job. The photos show a difference in color between panels, but the seller claims that it is all straight without any rust. We sure hope all the claims are true because an original car this old does not come along very often. Too bad the pool of prospective collectors is drying up because these Airflytes are among the most interesting American cars ever built.
