OPINION ON “NASH” CARS qpHE following extracts from an article taken from the English “AUTOCAR,” written by Mr. Owen John, the highest authority on Motor Cars in the trade in England, is instructive:—

“I have lately been using a 6-eyHnder Car, better known in the- States than over here, called the “NASH,” end cnee again I find myself having to seek all the nicest adjectives I know of to fit its running. Standing at rest, or sweeping along at 55- miles per hour, I cannot remember a sweeter engine; its power is glorious, its acceleration swift without being violent, its picking-up abilites all that could be desired, and nothing could be more elegant than the way in which, foot off the throttle, the engine comes into use as. a brake. Of course it has an engine starter that is quiet, its lamps give plenty of light and do not rattle, its tyres are big, and its springing, when the weight in the car is properly distributed, wotfld be hard to improve.

“Fast and quiet as it is on the level, .1 think its best point is on the hills, its seats are not nearly so uncomfortable as some others, and its doors shut easier and rattle less than most.

“Under the bonnet, the engine lies in one long neat unobtrusive steel hpx. Everythig seems closed in to such an extent that, were it not for its appurtenances, such as the distributor, starter and radiator, there would appear no reason at all why any bonnet should be necessary. Like most of its brethren, it is .supposed to look after itself. Its power is R.A.C. 20, and its price (hfete is the staggerer) is announced as under £600.” The prices here for immediate delivery 5 and 3-seatera, £600; 1921, 5-seaters, £675.
