Nash Four

The Nash Four was the four-cylinder car that Nash Motors built at Kenosha, Wisconsin, from 1921 to 1924. In its first year it was sold as the Nash 40, a low-priced alternative to the six-cylinder Nash 680. Its overhead-valve engine was derived from the six and was first rated at 35 horsepower, then enlarged in February 1921 to 36.75 horsepower without a change in price. In 1922 the Four became the first production car with rubber engine mounts. The same year Nash tried to widen the market for closed cars with a cheap two-door sedan called the Carriole, priced between the roadster and the coupe. The Four ran on to the end of the 1924 model year with only special bodies added, and its role passed to the Ajax Six and then the Nash Special Six.
