1940 Nash Lafayette

Description

This is how to instantly stand out in a crowd in all the right ways. Not many people have a 1940 Nash LaFayette, and you'll likely never see one as well built like this one ever again. With a sleek style, leather-lined A/C interior, upgraded suspension, and fresh crate V8, it takes the classic style and gives you a ton of cruiser appeal.

The pointed nose, long hood, and flowing fenders are what give this an instant distinction. Plus, that big chrome front end catches everyone's eye with the vertical slats contrasted in the center with the tall row of horizontal brightwork. And that crease in the middle of the sleek rear looks like it was inspired by a Bugatti. So this really does have a premium look just from what the factory offered. You can see these body details so well because there was extra time and care in the sheet metal when restoring this car. Then they laid a modern champagne paint over it with plenty of metallic to make the paint radiate. As you look over the full package, the sport mirrors, tinted windows, and wide exhaust tips hint at the upgrades within. And those polished Foose wheels can't help but make this classic look sporty with their 17/18-inch front/rear stance.

Open the door to a full custom interior. Nash may have made comfortable cars back in the day, but this takes it to a whole new level. You now have individual bucket seats up front and a plush rear bench all finished in supple leather. You've got great features, like an AM/FM/CD stereo, a cup holder center console, and cold-blowing air conditioning. And there's a nice feeling in the fundamentals, like the way the doors close and the condition of the weather-stripping. It all makes for a great cruiser, and you know that because the driver takes priority. Your seat power adjusts to the ideal position. The upgraded steering wheel still has the Nash logo in the center, and it's mounted on a polished tilt column. This gives you a full view of the crisp Classic Instruments gauge package.

You're going to love showing off the engine bay with its smooth color-matched inner walls. Plus, details like the ridges of the air grabber and Nash tags on the valve covers also coordinate. This is a polished and extra tidy presentation of a 350 cubic-inch crate motor that was installed in 2020. While these are powerful right out of the box, this one also inhales deeply with a Weber four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power as shorty headers feed the dual exhaust. You'll also spot the right supporting component, like an aluminum radiator, an electric fan, upgraded pulleys, and steel braided lines. As you look underneath the car, you'll spot good driving features like a Mustang II style front end with newer coil springs, and there's a sway bar in the rear. Add in a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs, and you've got a good all-around cruiser.

This is the distinct Nash that has been upgraded to be a strong-running easy-cruising custom. So you just know it's going to get you all the right kinds of attention. Call today!!!
