Nash 880

The Nash 880, spoken as Eight-Eighty, was a line of eight-cylinder cars from Nash Motors of Kenosha, Wisconsin, built for the 1931 model year only. It replaced the six-cylinder Twin Ignition Six. Its chassis had a 3,073 mm wheelbase and its overhead-valve in-line eight of 3.9 litres produced 88.5 horsepower, with the clutch, three-speed gearbox, rear drive and four-wheel mechanical brakes of the previous year. Bodies were a four-door sedan, a two-door cabriolet and two different two-door coupes. The 1932 version, introduced on 1 June 1931, was called the 980 and had 94 horsepower, a slightly V-shaped grille, rocket-shaped headlamps and a one-piece bumper. On 1 March 1932 the Special Eight, Model 1080, took its place.
