Golden Era
The 998 Phaeton is a rare gem with only 13 examples made, this being the 11th. The 998 is the last Phaeton bodied Nash ever made. These cars are rightly considered American classics from the golden era of the early 1930s.

Luxury Hotels
It's quite possible that this Phaeton is the only completely original 998 model in usable condition. Most of the 998s produced were exported to Norway or Sweden, where they were used by luxury hotels to ferry passengers from ships to their destinations. This makes it all the more impressive and valuable to find an original and well-preserved 998.

Exterior
The 1932 Nash Phaeton is a masterpiece of automotive design with its striking two-tone caramel and dark brown color scheme complemented by a double red pinstripe that accents the high-gloss paint. The chrome details are flawless and add a luxurious touch that elevates the car to the highest level of excellence, including the spokes of the six wire wheels wrapped in Firestone Blackwall tires. The hood ornament stands proudly, adding a touch of elegance and class to the already impressive vehicle. It is clear that every detail of this car has been crafted with care and attention to detail, making it a true work of art.

Interior
The interior of this 1932 Nash Phaeton is equally impressive, with an Art Deco-style dashboard that exudes sophistication and timelessness. The burgundy patterned Naugahyde seats are in perfect condition and add a touch of elegance to the interior. The rear is spacious and features a separate folding or removable window for rear passengers, while the folding side seats can easily be converted to accommodate two additional passengers. The interior is a perfect combination of style and functionality, providing a comfortable and luxurious space for a family trip.

Mechanical
The 1932 Nash Phaeton is powered by an impressive 125 hp 5300 cc eight-cylinder engine with dual ignition and mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Under the hood is a well-functioning and desirable Stromberg Uur2 carburettor, along with a great distributor that keeps the car supplied with plenty of fuel. This combination of performance and precision makes this car a true classic and a joy to drive.

In summary, the 1932 Nash Phaeton is the perfect car for anyone looking for a stylish and elegant cruiser that will shine on the show floor and is also ready to take the family on a comfortable road trip. With its impressive V8 engine, impeccable interior and exterior and attention to detail, this car is a true work of art that offers an unforgettable driving experience.
