The Nash Ambassador is a luxury automobile produced by Nash Motors from 1927 until 1957. It was a top trim level for the first five years, then from 1932 on a standalone model. Ambassadors were lavishly equipped and beautifully constructed, earning them the nickname "the Kenosha Duesenberg".
Between 1929 and 1934, Nash produced a line of seven-passenger saloons and limousines; the Ambassador series was the automaker's "flagship" car. This distinction remained following the Nash-Hudson merger in 1954 that formed the American Motors Corporation (AMC).
The ongoing use of the Ambassador model name by Nash, and then its successor AMC through the 1974 model year, made it "one of the longest-lived automobile nameplates in automotive history" as of the late 1970s.
