1947 Nash. Like most auto manufacturers, the first cars produced after the end of World War II were designs introduced in the war-shortened 1942 model year, with minor grille and trim modifications. Nash was one of the first manufacturers to utilize unitized body construction. After the war, Nash dropped its in-line Eights and offered only six cylinder engines in the immediate post war era. This engine was no "go getter" at 110hp, but offered economy and proven durability.
Nash was known for its innovation and engineering. In addition to its unitized body construction, it also had what was considered a superior ventilation system called "Weather Eye" and was one of the first automakers to offer a modern in-dash air conditioning system in its cars. For those of you with a sense of humor, it was widely known that fathers would not let their daughters date a man who had a Nash because their seats converted into a rather comfortable full size bed.
