Lowest Priced Big Six Designs Feature New yentIa-

, jamming the aisles of the automo- bile show. stopped short at the Nash exhibit.
 There they sensed a distinctly new achievement in 1894 automo- bile design; felt the subtle sugges- tion of swift motion conveyed by models of all three new Nash series; and realized after closer study that this marked advance in modelling and escape from "that ole debbil' air resistance, has been accomplished without sacrifice of the established and accepted form which practical owners want in their new cars.
 They've got rhythm!" was the comment oftenest heard by attend ants who stood by to explain the striking Nash 1884 developments from adoption of twin Ignition, valve-in-head engines in even the lowest priced Big Six series, through the advanced new ventila- tion system, the addition of individ- ually sprung front wheels-as an optional feature of all Nash mod els, and down to disappearing ash trays and illuminated ignition lock.
 Probably the most striking out ward feature of the Nash line for 1894 is the delft modelling of what artists term the mobile motif into the pleasing and practical Nash design. Accomplished by the actual embossing of horizontal speed lines upon hood; massive, skirted lenders; headlamps; built-in-park- ing, tail ?and-stop lamps; and up- on hood louvres, this refreshing styling conveys the subtle but un- mistakable feeling of motion so essential to ultra modern automo- bile design. These embossed ac- cents capture and reflect high lights backward along the graceful length of the cars; force the eye 10 travel from front to rear as though the car were passing swift ly before it, and tell the story of eager power, smooth flight and de- lightful performance in manner never before attained by motor car designers.
 Every detail of the new Nash design aids in air cleavase-cuts down costly air resistance.
 The sloping, V-front radiator meets the reached hood line which is carried forward in a rolled edge to the radiator grille-no air pockets here. but ample cooling surpace. Movable ventilator doors with rigid backs are arranged horizontally along the sides of the hood, while additional emboss- ments accent the skirts of front and rear lenders, and the massive running boards-more smooth air flow. This skirted sweep of fend- CTS is supplemented in the new Nash by an optional, embossed read wheel shield, enclosing hub and wheel in airp1ane fashion, pre- venting air pressure from building up beneath the fender. These strikingly new shields are remov- able for tire changing. Aside from their addition to the cmartncss and ed-frecdom of the new cars, the shields serve as protection from mud and dust and make the car easier to clean. Proceeding further, show-goers noted that the new Nash backs sweep down from roof to low-hung beavertail in an unforg ettable line, but line which prevents the hold back" of air suction. Commodious trunks of var ious models are moulded and built in to blend perfectly with the pleasing design which nevertheless cuts the air like a knife.
 Re-styling of Nash interiors i'm 3mcdiately caught the eye of the women who made pso large proportion of the show crowds. They found new luxury and su- preme taste in all 1894 Nash aD- pointments, but were particularly impressed with the advanced air conditioning system. They discov- cred that this quitee, draftless, built-in ventilation starts with an extra large, screened cowl ventil- ator in front and includes air wings on front doors, adjustable to weather conditions: rear quarter windows in sedans that pivot to form a perfect suction vent; n patented, horizontal air vent or notch designed into the front win dows. When, in bad weather, win dows are clased except for this vent, the vacuum created by the eX- terior wind wing silently exhausts air from the interior of the car, affording perfect silent ventilation without drafts and without in any way obstructing vision. With this construction, Nash uses fixed windshiled, which permits twin wipers, positively driven by special cable from the camshaft, to be ITOI1 DcIOW LOi operation. They also noted an en- tirely new and beautiful instrument panel treatment which groups all driving instruments about two huge dials. All controls are on the panel, which also affords an extra large package compartment fitted with a lock. The end panels are handsomely ornamented; those in Ambassador and Deluxe models be- ing lined ffin silver.
 Mechanically, the 1894 cars have been improved with numerous i'm novations and changes from pre- Wous design. Two noteworthy ad- vancements are the ooincident;tl clutch starter and the new trans mission; both are to be found in al models. Nash has left adoption of individually sprung front wheels entirely to the desire of the pur- chaser by providing a new and practical front aZle development as optional equipment on all models
 The new starter Is linked up with the clutch pedal. To start the engine the operator first switches on the ignition, then presses the clutch pedal all the way down. When the engine starts, the mani- fold vacuum automatically breaks the circuit, and the starter motor cannot be operated as long as the engine Is running.
