- Believed to have been originally owned by the Anheuser-Busch 'Budweiser' brewing dynasty with links to Ormond Beach, Florida and the Busch Museum

- Recently imported from Florida

- Reputed to have appeared as a black taxi cab in the 1982 film 'Annie' and subsequently refinished in 'Busch' blue livery

This striking lefthand drive Nash four-door Sedan, that comes complete with period screen visor and contrasting artillery wheels, is thought to be a 1932 960 model. It features Pale Blue bodywork that's teamed with Dark Blue velour interior trim and is powered by a 201ci (3.3-litre) straight-six L-head engine of 60hp that drives through a three-speed manual gearbox. The Nash has an intriguing history, as it's believed to have originally belonged to the Anheuser-Busch (think Budweiser) brewing industry, with links to the Ormond Beach, Florida and the Busch museum. It is also reputed to have appeared as a Black taxi cab in the 1982 movie 'Annie' before being refinished in its current 'Busch' Blue livery - the chances are there is plenty more to discover about this fascinating item of Americana. The vendor presently describes the 960 as 'mechanically sound and running well' with 'sound' bodywork, 'fair' paintwork and transmission, 'tidy' interior trim and 'running' engine'.
