Introduced in 1950. the Nash Rambler was designed to be much smaller than other contemporary vehicles. while still able to accommodate five passengers easily and comfortably. Produced by the Nash Motors division of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation for six years only. the Rambler was responsible for establishing a new segment in the automotive market. Widely considered to be the original modern American compact vehicle. the Nash Rambler was orginally going to be called the Nash Diplomat. Dodge had already reserved the Diplomat name for a two-door hardtop body style. so the Rambler name was resurrected instead.

 

The Rambler was compact. and the design had a rounded form with an envelop body that enclosed the front wheels. Fortunately thedesign did not impair the vehicles cornering abilities. The Nash Rambler kept the fixed roof structure above the vehicles doors and rear side window frames unlike the traditional convertible of that time period that used frame-free windows. The retractable canvas top used this metal structure as the side rails or guides. The body of the vehicle was considered to be rigid for an open top vehicle. though this design did allow Nash to use its monocque unibody construction on its new compact.

 

This Nash is virtually all-original. although nicely repainted at some point.   It has an great original in-line six Nash motor with Dual-Range Hydra-Matic transmission that evidences no issues. It is a bigger attraction than virtually any car of its vintage—women especially like its Italian designer cute lines. The Nash is very economical to drive because it gets over 22 mpg average and over 25 mpg on the highway.   The seats are under accessory seat-covers which are right for the period.    It has very nice wide white wall tires. Manuals and spare/tools are in the trunk.    This car was a background car in the movie “The Temptations” and photo documentation is included with the car.

 

Actual Mileage Unknown.
