new NASH LINE ANNOUNCED
Name of the Company Will be Borne by
All Cars and Trucks Manufactured
at Big West Side Plant-New
Cars Win High Favor.

With the introduction this week of
the new Nash Six line Of pleasure cars,
the use Of the name "Jeffery" on all
pleasure cars and trucks manufact-
ured by The Nash Motors Company,
will be discontinued.
Big advertisements in the national
publications are featuring the debut of
the new car, which has been awaited
with much interest ever since G. w.
Nash purchased the big Jeffrey factory
and organized The Nash Motors Co.
The new model 681 will feature the
Nash perfected valve-in-head motor,
and is a real beauty of car. The
four-passenger roadster and the stand
<fve-passenge touring car, will sell
for $1,295 f. o. b. Kenosha, and the
Sedan, which will be Of the Spring
field type, is priced at $1,985.
The seven-passenger touring car,
known as the Jeffrey Model GIL, will
be continued as the Nash seven
passenger touring car, but no change
has been made in this type. The price
will remain $1,465. All pleasure cars
excepting this model are equipped
with the new motor.
Two truck models will be made to
bear the new Nash name plate. The
one-ton model No. 2017 will continue
to be sold At 81 ,495, and the famous
Quad, formerly the Jeffrey Quad and
re-christened the Nash Quad, Model
No. 4O16, will be sold at $3.50.
Samples of the Nash Six are being
sent daily to the distributors and be-
fore long demonstrators will be in the
hands of many dealers who are clam
oring for the new car.
The new pleasure car is a radical
departure from the old Jeffrey model.
Perhaps the biggest change is in the
motor. The power of the Nash perfec-
ed valvein-head motor is due to it's
unusual breathing capacity, that is,
the ability to get more gases into it's
cylinders, filing them completely be-
fore each explosion. Because the
straight, smooth passages of the valve
in-head motor offer less resistance to
the gas coming into the cylinders
than do the curved rough ones of other
types of motor, the valve-in-head has
the. greatest breathing capacity.
Nash engineers have improved and
perfected the valve-in-head type until
the new Nash motor has greater breath
ing capacity than any of its size used
in passenger motor vehicles. This is
secured by providing extra large
valve lifts and by Strengthening
and charging the passages from
carburetor to. cylinders.
One of the many ways in which Nash
engineers simplifed and improved the
Nash engine is illustrated by the fact
that there are only two timing gears
on the front of the motor. There are
no auxiliary shafts to drive pump or
generator. The pump is driven by the
cam shaft, and the fan is mounted on
the extended generator shaft, and the
whole assembly driven by belt.
The body is deep Nash blue, pen
ciled with gold. 1t. is swung low, upon
a chassis of 121-inch wheel-base. The
Sedan chassis is the same as that of the
touring car with the exception that is
has been heightened to 127 inches.
The wheels will be rich cream.
The entry Of the Nash Six is easily
the big event Of the year in motordom.
Mechanically and artistically, it is GER
tain to hold the center of the stage at
the automobile shows this winter.
The big Nash plant out on the west
side is album with energy, and num-
Der of departments are working over
time. The production of trucks is 60
ing forward simultaneously with that
of the new pleasure cars and the fac
tory is working hard to keep up with
its orders. The thirty big distributors
of Nash cars will meet next week
in Kenosha to discuss sales plans for
the coming season.
