Re: Powerful 46-47 Supers/Custom Supers

Though not particularly powerful, certainly not in the league with the 356, the Nash Ambassador straight eight, with 9 main bearings and dual plug OHV, is considered by many to be one of, if not THE, best straight 8s in any US car of the era. I can't comment on the Duesenberg-Lycoming or the foreigners, Bugatti etc. I was told by Al Prueit that the Dusey was not overly smooth or refined, however powerful it may have been.
