~ New Models, With slip.
Stream Design, lncorpor-
ate Many innovations

Nash Motors has announced five
entirely new and radically advanced
groups of automobiles.
These cars are handled here by the
Hedahl Motor company.
Twenty-seven new models, all
marked by the long. low. "slipstream'
design, perfected to minimize wind
resistance. and replete with more
than 100 additional Announcements in
motor car engineering, are included
in this presentation.
Four straight-eight groups and a
new big six series make up the new
line. Leading the presentation Is the
Ambassador TWin-Ignition Eight
series with 125 horsepower and a
wheelbase of 142 inches. The Ad-
vanced in-Ignition Eight series
with 133-inch wheelbase develops 125
horsepower; the Special Twin-Igni-
ton Eight with 128-inch wheelbase,
100 horsepower; the Standard
Straight Eight with 12l-inch Wheel
base, IS horsepower, and the Big Six
on the extra long 116-inch wheelbase
affords 70 horsepower.
Silent underslung worm drive axles
"a major engineering advancement
of the Ambassador 8, Advanced 8 and
Special 8 series-are among the most
important of the new Nash achieve
lnents.
Other vital features Of the entire
line include: new X-Dual, twist-proof
frames with the massive X-Dual
member extending practically the en-
tire length of the chassis to virtually
supply two frames in one and afford
battleship strength; new dash -regu-
lated, full range shock absorber con-
troll; new CentrifuSe, cast iron lined
brake drums on all Fights; aluminium
alloy connecting rods. drilled for oil
AN exceptionally costly engineering
practice in all of the motorS--and
aluminium alloy pistons; silent. SYM
Chro-Shift transmission and Synchro-
shift free wheeling: new improved
carburetion with air-cooled gasoline
lines; complete and unparalleled
sound-proofing of all bodies and
chassis; new silent dual mufflers:
larger tires on smaller. sturdier
wheels, and scores of intriguing and
valuable body and chassis refine
mentS
The attractive V-shaped fronts Of
all the cars serve to split the wind at
high speeds. Slanting windshields
slip the air stream upward instead Of
offering flat surface to air pres
sure. The sweeping curve of the roof
line continues the slipping action.
New Nash bodies are widest at their
center, narrowing down toward the
rear.
The new, underslung worm drive,
which actually improves with use and
is one of the longest-liyed, most silent
and trouble-free units known to mo-
tor car engineering. permits two es-
sential improvements. It reduces the
over y all height of the cars without
decreasing headroom. and makes it
possible to cradle the rear seat in a
position ahead Of the rear axle, in
stead of directly over it as in conven-
tional bodies. Each inch that the
new Nash cars have been lowered
eliminates approximately 40 square
inches of air pressure against the car
at high speeds.
In appearance the new models are
a revelation in trim symmetry They
are new from the ground up and re-
veal strikingly attractive details in
design. A few of these features in
clude: new color combinations, pro-
nounced V-type fronts; new head
light brackets and tie-bar; two horns
mounted on lamp brackets; single
bar bumpers front and rear; excep-
tionally long, graceful hoods with
door-type ventilators and concealed
hood fasteners; slanting, on-glare
windshields; slip-stream tenders
merging into massive steel-and-rub-
Der running boards; refined fender
and tail lights with two rear fender
tail and stop lights on the Ambassa-
dor 8, Advanced and Special 8
models; smaller, sturdier demountable
wood and wire wheels with larger
tires: three-spoke, pressed, hard rub
Der covered steel steering wheels and
tilted tire carriers.
Outstanding engineering features.
in addition to tWin-ignition and 9TH
ef established Nash developments, in
clllde: new. ribbed-type rear axles in
Standard and Big Six models: full
range ride control operated from a
convenient lever on the dash, which
opens and closes liquid control valves
in the hydraulic shock absorbers and
allows the driver to regulate spring
action to suit any road or load condi-
ton; effortless synchro-sh trans
mission with silent second gear and

ing; automatic chassis fabrication,
which cares for vital chassis bearings
as the car runs, in Ambassador 8,
Advanced 8 and Special models; ex-
ceptionally long chassis springs with
new metal spring covers on the big
Fights. A new vacuum pump on the
Ambassador and Advanced models
provides positive windshield wiper &C
ton at all speeds.
Additional features are reinforced
motor blocks; new camshaftS pro-
viding silent valve action; nine big
main bearings in all Fights and sew
en- main bearings in the Big Six: hol-
lowed crankpins; new oil filters; inn
proved water temperature control in
the motor block to aid quick warm
up; new, air-cushton rubber motor
mountings; exceptionally quiet fans;
extra large axle bearings and pro-
peller shafts; wider wheel treads and
improved road shock eliminators to
guard the famous Nash easy steering
systems
Additional interior advantages in
clude: Artistic new hardware and
window lifts; one-piece wood finish
garnish mouldings with aprons under
all side windows; new smoking sets:
electric cigar lighters In both front
and rear compartments Of the AM
bassadOr and Advanced 8 models:
new inside sun visors; concealed
operating mechanisnS with twin
windshield wipers and individual mo-
tors In Ambassador 3, Advanced 8 and
