Nash Motors, a manufacturer in the USA, ran production of its models from 1916-38. Defined in its success by marketing mid-priced cars for the middle-class buyers, its successful release of the Nash Special Six in 1927 came as no surprise. ‘To give the buyer more than he paid for’- its iconic slogan between 1920s-1930s.
