Market commentary

It is 'unusual' that delivers the goods for this economical Nash introduced in 1934 in an effective response to the Depression's auto market and part of the reason Charles Nash's company made a profit during the period. It is far more important than similar Fords and Chevys of the day, built to Charlie Nash's high standards and is a sound value (for those who value unusual cars with significant stories) at this price.
