The south east of France, is the very part of the french country where the
british had their ass, kicked by the french army many centuries ago ! It is
from that very part of the french country called "France" that some french
kings who have rulled england came from, like Henri2 Plantagenest, Aliénor
d'aquittaine, Richard coeur de lion (the lion heart) if it get sick knowing
the truth, if your brain cannot stand it, then I would advise you to have a
cognac, it would do good to your stomach !
Hello, assuming that you may be living in angayland or in DUMBSA, I
understand why your culture is drastically ppor. So I will try to teach you
a little about french cars, though I'm not sure that your fatgotsaxon brain
is able to understand. I invite you to search for a video on youtube
entitled : "When the French cars dominated the world" And even after the
war, we still have Renauld,Peugeot, Citroën, PGO, Aixam, mdi, Venturi ...
And we also had a motor bike company like VOXAN ...
I forgot to talk about Bugatti, it's also a french car company ! And not
italian contrary to what many people think. And talking about one of the
most american cars company, named "Cadillac" it's founder was a proper
french man, his full name was : Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac coming from the
south west of France his name finished with "ac" like many other names from
that part of France, like : Cognac, Armagnac, Jonzac, Brossac, Ribérac,
Rouillac, Segonzac and so on ...
simply GORGOUS love everything about that car that's the kind of car that
showed the world you have arrived and your doing very well and that's the
way Packard wanted it thank you God for giving Howard "Dutch" Darrin the
talent and brains to design a car like that its amazing I was born 1969
been in love with cars all my life seen all kinds of cars [thank you Jesus]
but this car puts a lot of newer stuff to shame God bless
Did you hear the door close? Nice, very nice. I am a Brit and no, I have no
experience of any expensive cars but for what it's worth Packard made
superb cars. To my eyes, America lost the recipe for fine cars after WW2
but before, so many fine, elegant and innovative cars.
Lovely car, nice deep bugundy instead of look-at-me-red konkours kolor, but
the wire wheels are inauthentic and tacky. You don't really need the
whitewalls, either. They distract from the car's clean lines. Too bad
Packard's production dropheads weren't this slinky.
My Grandfather built these engines, and the Packard PT boat engines. This
car is amazing! I would love to have a car my Grandpa helped build. I'm
glad these owners have taken such good care of it. So beautiful....I wish
Grandpa was still here to see it.
Ces Américains ne savent et ne sauront jamais les Carrosseries Françaises !
Sauf leurs Américaines de merde, ils ne savent pas, ne peuvent pas
comprendre la Carrosserie Française Américains = gros cons.
il ne vaut rien de prétendre que les voitures Francaises soient si
superbes. Ces honneurs appartiennent aux Mercedes, et Packard. Qu'avez-vous
a la France? Des 2cv??

1949 Nash Ambassador Airflyte Barnfind
( An amazing time capsule ! ) A NASH-o-Rific huge car for me!. Garm's new 1949 Nash literally has not been touched since 1967. I'm sure the air in the trunk and ...
Mark, you keep amazing me with your finds. First the micros, then the old
Rambler, then the Wagoneer (I have a '63) and now this. I had a '50 Nash
Ambassador for about 10 years in my 20's (so, 25 years ago) and I've kept
up with the Nash club, etc. This one is really nice! A 2 door, and really
loaded with the inside hood release, radio, backup light fog lights and
wide whites. The reflector in the trunk is really a taillight for when the
trunk is open. They called the dash pod the Uniscope.
It sure is a time capsule, it seems like it was a car that was well cared
for... then perhaps it was handed down, and at some point in '69 , for some
reason (Did the owner get shipped off to Vietnam and get killed?) it was
stored away inside. You just do not see a car this old in that kind of
original condition. Considering this car is 63 years old or so, it is in
awesome shape.
Thank you for the post! I like the time capsule aspect of this vehicle I
like the fact that this vehicle was in exceptional condition for its age!
After I read that the owner is in southern California I got to thinking
that someone might chop the top and lower it and if that's true I don't
want to hear any more about this car I would prefer it stay as original as
possible!!
Mine had a foot switch for the radio (like a GM wonderbar), and some even
had inside fuel door release and rear wipers - in 1950! The Ambassador had
the OHV 6 (the Statesman had a flathead) and in 1950 you could get a
Hydromatic too. The radiator tank is completely different than on my '50 -
I wonder if that's original. Anyway, really nice Nash! Have fun with it!
Well I see this is a straight car and I hope it stays original. I don't
like custom Nashes because they are cooler original than any custom car.
This one survived and I hope you can fix it up like you did to the Rambler.
The Story behind the car is cool. 1963 Newspaper in the car.. Neat. Anyone
can paint and fix a car, but finding one like that is a gift.
Mark, this blows me away. My dad had a '49 Nash Statesman, a '52 Nash
Ambassador, my uncle had an early '50s Nash (they called it the Blue Cigar)
and my grandpap had a '49 Nash Ambassador. Boy does that interior bring
back memories! That is the top-of-the-line model. You know, the seats fold
down into a bed. You should try it!
I just added a new (rare) chassis to my driveway. Sadly wasn't stored as
well as this one was. 6 years outside under a car cover and didn't get
sunlight where it was sitting. It's sad. It DOESN'T smell good. Outstanding
condition on that Ambassador! Must have been stored indoors? You always
find the good ones!
smells familiar.. haha.. cool where they put the starter button.. I
retained that feature on my green bean.. I also used the three on the tree
shifter as the lever for my automatic tranny too. built linkage to make it
work
Oh, I'm dying to know what the chrome knob on the side of the steering
column is. Mine had the Hydramatic, and you'd pull the shift lever towards
you to engage the starter.
Outer (large) ring is the light switch/headlights. Small (inner) knob is
the wiper switch. I think if you hit them both at the same time, it engages
the flux-capacitor!
Original once, redone hundreds of times. Butchered is usually forever
ruined.

1948 BUICK ROADMASTER - THE CONVERTIBLE
Only a few minor changes this year to the Buick, just like the other car makes in this post-war car environment. The Dynaflow automatic transmission is ...
+itsmegp46 Oh yeah! Upgraded GM models had power windows available. My 46 Cadillac had power windows also and they were a - rhymes with witch, to work on and operate properly. But still like these forties cars very much. Thanks for viewing.
A very beautiful Buick Roadmaster indeed .Now these were big heavy and
massive cars. Tipping the scales @ better than 5,500Lbs. .The Dynoflow
Automatic Tranny was more of hydrosatic drive unit than a regular
automatic. Adjustable fin hydraulic turbines and planetary gear.A friend of
mine has his grandpas 52 Buick straight eight Roadmaster and it has the
original never rebuilt just new seals. put in Dynoflow tranny .You can be
going 70mph then throw it in reverse and the car will gradually slow down
to a stop and halt for a minute and start backing .My dad said this was a
safety feature. for women drivers back then because the auto industry
though had a sexist opinion ,Said woman couldn't handle a manual
transmission and clutch and the Dynoflow transmission was the best for a
woman to drive because if she accidentally throw in reverse it wouldn't
break the insides of the transmission.I've got an article in a Popular
Mechanics Magazine from that time that has a article on what was the best
car for women drivers to buy but the Buick with a Dynoflow transmission.My
dad would tell stories of these trannys .It was said on a very cold morning
you could go out and start a Buick with a Dynoflow transmission put it in
gear go back inside,Have a cup of Coffee come back out and the car would be
ready to move.That's a bit of an exaggeration on how slow they operated but
not very far off just the same .There was the front half of a 48 Buick were
I found the LaSalle and my 56DeSoto setting at near Eldorado Springs
Mo.There was a smashed 53Packard and a 50Nash that was dozer squashed a
long long long time ago. They made good money at the crusher but I saved
and resold the 39 LaSalle & the 55DeSoto came to be my Restored but very
bad attitude rat Rod. In other words to all the readers its a car that
looks like it did when new on the outside but is a very nasty tempered Hot
Rod underneath all the glam and glitter .Everyone that sees it thinks oh a
restored DeSoto Firedome Adventurer. Then when its running and beating the
ground underneath it and look inside and see the tach and Guages mounted
underneath the dash and the Hurst vintage Pro Shifter and Nitros Controls
setting beside the shifter they wonder what's going on with this monster.
I've got some Buick Beasts of burden setting out in the pile on the ground
also .
+dougslittlediesel This was very interesting information about the Dynoflow tranny. I knew for years that it was mushy but didn't know all the other features about it. Imagine the industry stating that women weren't equipped to understand automatic transmissions. Man, have things changed - for the better regarding women in general. Glad you revitalized that great DeS you have. Factory looks outside, and bad temperament inside. Thanks so much for your comments and enjoying this Buick.
+Jason Carpp There were eleven colors available for the Buick this year, and I think this color is perfect for this old Buick. Thanks for enjoying this seldom seen post-war Buick.
