Nash 600
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nash 600 was an automobile manufactured by the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation of Kenosha, Wisconsin from 1940 through the 1949 model year, after which the car was renamed the Nash Statesman.
The "600" is generally credited with being the first mass produced American automobile that constructed through unitized body/frame construction in which the car body and the frame are welded as one rather than the (then) more traditional body on frame (the body is bolted to the frame). Unitized construction allowed Nash to advertise that the car was lighter in weight, quieter and more rigid than its competitors.
