The Nash Rambler

Here it is. The car you've heard about, talked about, waited for. The car that could only have been conceived and built by a great organization, by men whose vast engineering experience and skills are coupled with pioneering vision. Just feast your eyes on lines as swift and sweet as a Hawks flight. Here's a car that is proved proved the hard way at the world famous Indianapolis Speedway. To avoid premature publicity on a revolutionary new convertible, a disguised hardtop model was used in these tests. Round and round it went on this rugged proving ground. Mile after mile of tests for speed, economy, running ability, and performance proved that the Rambler has what it takes. On the same track that has seen countless records set and broken, the Nash Ramler amazed veteran observers by its sensational performance at high speeds. On the historic sands of Daytona Beach, the Rambler was again put through its paces. And once more, it racked up a thrilling double check on performance. Then someone said, "Let's give this baby the works." And they did. For 3,000 m from coast to coast across this nation, from the southern tip of Florida, they headed the Ramblers's nose for California and let her roll. The Tamiami Trail was taken in stride. It isn't every day Americans across the country get a chance to see a new idea brought to life. And did they take advantage of this chance at each stop on the trip? They gave it the once over, but not lightly before the Rambler continued on its journey across historic roots through the heart of the Southland through rain and shine. But even the Rambler has to have a little gas now and then. And each time all eyes were focused on the car that represents something new under the sun. [Music] Underway again and making the Chattanooga Chuchu look like a slow freight. Onto the bayus of Louisiana. Night and day, the Rambler rolled with its headlights shining through the darkness as beacons of something absolutely new. Deep in the heart of Texas, and the Rambler took this mammoth state in her streamlined stride. With her miserly gas consumption, the Rambler will help to conserve that precious Texas oil. Amazing gasoline economy from coast to coast proves that here is a real fuel miser. Incidentally, to doublech checkck economy, a special 1gallon test was set up on the Sultan Sea Desert in California. And this beauty delivered an amazing 32 and 6/10 miles to the gallon of gasoline. The rarified atmosphere of mile high mountain passes is no barrier. The continental divide is a cinch for this car with the continental air. And so is the hot, flat, below sea level desert country. A dusty burning inferno for ordinary cars. the desert. He didn't bother the rambler. [Music] But this newest member of the Nash family did raise the temperatures of those usually tacitan westerners. [Applause] They looked the Rambler in the teeth and liked what they saw. They gave it the nod of approval. With its trim nose pointed into the setting sun again, the Rambler is off on the last lap of its grueling cross country run. California comes into view. The golden state with its Hollywood glamour, its scenery. And it's California weather. Well, that's better. But long before he reached California, this driver knew that the Rambler's no ordinary automobile knew it was worthy to join the Airflight family. knew that it more than justified the years of planning, the tons of blueprints, the sweat and energy that Nash engineers had put into it. Once more, the Rambler had proved itself worthy to bear the name of Nash. Even the name of this car, the Rambler, a proud name in Nash history and in motoring tradition, a name with nearly a half a century of meaning behind it, evoked respect for the newest Nash achievement. And to Nash dealers, this new car marks the beginning of a vastly expanded market because it makes millions of Americans into brand new prospects.
