Nash models

Nash Motors was an American car maker founded in 1916 by Charles W. Nash, a former president of General Motors, who bought the Thomas B. Jeffery Company and its plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin. In 1937 Nash became the car division of Nash-Kelvinator.

Among its innovations, the Weather Eye heating and ventilation system of 1938 drew fresh outside air into the car, and the Nash 600, introduced for the 1941 model year, was the first mass-produced American car with a unibody structure. Later models included the Ambassador, the compact Rambler of 1950, the Nash-Healey sports car of 1951 and the Nash Metropolitan, a small car built with Austin in Britain and introduced in 1954. In the same year, 1954, Nash merged with Hudson to form the American Motors Corporation. The Nash and Hudson names were phased out in 1957, when AMC concentrated on the Rambler.
