Air conditioning

Did they really have air in '38? I'd always heard Packard was first in '39. RivGuySC 19:21, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Significant overhaul

I added in a number of facts based on the work of Tad Burness and the Standard Catalogue of American Cars 1946-1975.

Also, I elimniated the statement that Nash was wasn't known for innovations - Nils Eric Wahlberg was one of the most innovative engineers in the Automotive field. To say that Nash wasn't innovative, or had few innovations simply isn't accurate. user: stude62 user talk:stude62 02:39, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The first paragraph credits Nash with pioneering the manufacture of compact, subcompact, and muscle cars. These statements could be made more accurate. Compact and subcompact cars had been manufactured in Europe and the UK for many years prior to Nash's introduction of these types of cars in the US; in fact UK partnership behind the Metropolitan was with a company that had already been building subcompacts for a long time. Also, the introduction of the muscle car happened when there wasn't really a Nash Motors anymore; it was AMC. user:rlitwin

Nash never did not become defunct in 1954

Did anyone ever wonder why American Motors' date of incorporation was 1918? Nash and Hudson did not actually merge, that was a fabrication designed to make the public think Hudson was an equal partner in American Motors. Legally Nash-Kelvinator Corporation changed its name to American Motors Corporation and then a stock exchange was made for Hudson Motor Company stock. The surviving corporation was Nash-Kelvinator, Hudson ceased to exist. AMC was not a new company. Very similar to the purchase of AT&T by SBC Corporation. The current SBC, incorprated in 1983, uses the name AT&T, Inc. The real AT&T Corp./American Telephone and Telegraph Company, exists as a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T, Inc. In realty American Motors Corporation existed from 1918 to 1987. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.93.180 (talk) 01:26, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Huh?

...the heating and ventilation system which is still used today.

Nash's successor, AMC, went belly-up in 1987. How can said system still be used "today"?

perhaps more accurately, AMC was acquired by Chrysler, and became the

"Jeep Eagle" division of Chrysler.

(In encyclopedia articles, present-time constructions such as "today" and "currently" should be avoided, as they may become outdated at any time.) Sca (talk) 18:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Rambler American

The description of Nash and American Motors in the 1950s and beyond needs source citations -- and corrections. There is no mention of Rambler American which was Key to AMC success in the last half of the 1950s In the 1950s, I was elementary school student then Jr High school and high school student with knowing about cars as a hobby interest. In the latter half of that decade I was specifically a fan of Rambler. In the early 1960s I bought a used Rambler American. Please see the talk page for the W article on the Rambler American.

This article reports that the Nash Metropolitan survived to 1957. That would greatly surprise me if it is true. At that time I frequently hung out at a Rambler dealer. I can't imagine I could have missed the Metropolitan if it had been available. I suspect there is confusion here with the Rambler American, which was available then.

What about the "Eagle" sedan? Clean up on aisle 57!!!

Don't be afraid to Be Bold and fix the article, if you can find good citations. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 20:18, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

User 73.236.192.88 has noted the missing material concerning the development and success of the Nash Rambler in the marketplace. The section about this has now been expanded and better organized in this article.

The Nash Metropolitan was marketed from 1953 until 1962. Individual Nash, Rambler, and AMC dealers may have avoided having this unusual and low-volume model in their inventory, or even in their service departments. Nevertheless, the best sales for the little Met were in 1959. User 73.236.192.88 is correct that this was when the first-generation Rambler American was produced (1958–1960) by AMC, a model that was essentially the reintroduction of the Nash Rambler after its discontinuation in 1955.

I am unsure about the Eagle sedan question. Perhaps this is a reference to the AMC Eagle?

CZmarlin (talk) 22:31, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

I assumed they were talking about the AMC, too. I can't find any record of a Nash Eagle. There was the Studebaker Hawk, but that's not an eagle, sedan, or a Nash-Kelvinator product. Commandant Quacks-a-lot (talk) 19:43, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
