Nash 680

The Nash 680 was a six-cylinder car and the first model of Nash Motors' own manufacture. Nash showed it at Kenosha, Wisconsin, in 1918 and built it until 1921. It used an overhead-valve in-line six of 4.1 litres rated at 55 horsepower, a dry single-plate clutch, a three-speed gearbox with a centre shift and mechanical external band brakes on the rear wheels, and it came on two wheelbases, 3,073 mm and 3,226 mm. Body choices were a two-door roadster, a two-door coupe, a four-door sedan and a four-door touring car seating five or seven. The 1919 year added only bodies. In 1922 it gave way to the almost unchanged Nash Six, Model 690, which ran to 1924, and in 1925 the Advanced Six and Special Six replaced that line.
