The Ajax Six was the car sold under the short-lived Ajax brand, which Nash Motors introduced for the 1925 model year as an entry-level line built in the former Mitchell plant at Racine, Wisconsin. It was based on an earlier premium LaFayette design and came as a four-door sedan, a four-door touring car or a two-door sedan. It used a 170 cubic inch L-head straight six with a seven main bearing crankshaft, a three-speed transmission and four-wheel brakes, which were unusual at its price, and it was credited with a genuine 60 miles per hour. Buyers did not believe the Ajax was a real Nash, so the brand was dropped in 1926 after 22,122 Model 21 and Model 51 cars, production continued as the Nash Light Six, and owners were offered free kits to convert their cars.
