Nash 870

The Nash 870, spoken as Eight-Seventy, was a line of eight-cylinder cars from Nash Motors of Kenosha, Wisconsin, built for the 1931 model year only. Together with its less powerful sister the 660 it replaced the six-cylinder Single Six. The chassis had a 2,953 mm wheelbase and the side-valve in-line eight of 3.7 litres produced 78 horsepower, with the clutch, three-speed gearbox, rear drive and four-wheel mechanical brakes of the year before. Bodies were two different four-door sedans, a two-door cabriolet and two different two-door coupes. The 1932 model, introduced on 1 June 1931, became the 970 with a slightly V-shaped grille, rocket-shaped headlamps and a one-piece front bumper. On 1 March 1932 the Standard Eight, Model 1070, replaced it.
