Nash Rambler dealer film, c. 1950, from the Vincent Ruffalo Collection.

This came us from Vince Ruffalo, a renowned collector of Nash and AMC material.

It's very likely from the launch of the Nash Rambler in the middle of the 1950 model year. There is a scene of a Rambler at Indy, and the narrator says it was a stand-in hard top. The launch of the Rambler only had the landau model: a convertible with fixed profile. So they'd need a stand-in if they didn't want to give it away. Additionally, late in the film the Rambler is integrated into the lineup of existing Nash models as they existed in 1950: the Ambassador and Statesman.
