Another look - the 1950 NASH AMBASSADOR

  The bath-tub on the road,  the highway pillow, "Don't let your daughter date a guy who drives. . ."  -  All that was the 1950 Nash, and here it is in 1/43 scale by Premium X, with a couple of interesting period pictures stuck on as well.

  I have three models of the 1950 Nash, with two being the very fine Premium X production. But I do have one quibble with them, as shown in the second picture below.

The fine detailing of this model included the series name on the front quarter.  But it does not read "Ambassador."  It is "Statesman Super."  And all Nash historians know the differences.   

I have a third Nash model, a fire chief version by USA Models, being No. 3.  The license tag identifies it as being 1949.  This one is much heavier, being white metal, but it does not have the detailing of the Premium X models.

The styling of this Nash was somewhat controversial at the time, but it sold quite well.  Nash continued the covered wheels into its next lines of the 1950's, but other companies did not follow suit and Nash abandoned the concept in its final years.  That's another story.

   It's an eye-catcher.
