So……

1951 Everett
1952 Ambasador
1953 Gedney
1954 Woodside

Previously in this discussion it was said it was the Everett in 1951 and 1952. Was 1952 a transition year where it was the Everett in the early part of the year then became the Ambassador later on? Looking at the ads, it appears the difference between the Everett and Ambassdor is the bracelet. The Ambasador has that wonderful Apex bracelet.
