When I was in my 20's I followed a neighbour who totally restored a 1947 Nash 600, and I understood that the only difference between the 600 and the Ambassador was the longer front, but I never understood why it had an extended front (bigger engine, straight eight?). If I understand this page http://www.nashcarclub.org/nccaphot/nccaphot.html correctly they almost looked the same 1942-48 albeit the earlier ones had somewhat less chrome between the headlights ("grill").

The 600 (112 inch wheelbase, 199.5 inch length) had partially skirted rear wheel wells whereas the Ambassador (121 inch wheelbase, 208.5 inch length) had full wheel wells. This one is an Ambassador.
