The World's Leading Custom Stylist Scores Again!
 

Two short years ago Nash introduced a new concept of American automotive design as it presented the styling genius of Pinin Farina.
 
Today that genius finds new, advanced expression as Nash proudly presents its 1954 masterpieces bearing the crest of the man who puts "tomorrow on wheels". Never have you seen such beauty ... such spaciousness ... such sweep of visibility. And all this is combined with Nash engineering achievements in Power Steering, Power Braking and other features for your motoring enjoyment.
 
Eight new Nash Ambassador and Statesman models await your inspection today. See them, drive them, for the greatest experience you ever had at the wheel of an automobile.
