Nash Standard Six Sedan - Black and white 8" x 10 1/2" ad that shows the 1928 Nash Standard Six Sedan. The headline this ad is trying to state is that "Nash Leads The World in motor car value". It then shows a drawing of this car and it says that it is "A Trustworthy Car at a Noteworthy Price". It then says that "Before you buy your new car this spring, it will pay you to see your Nash dealer. Nash prices probably will surprise you. They are very low, considering what you get for what you pay. And they are low because Nash is a great manufacturer headed by one of the ablest builders in the motor car industry, C.W. Nash. Only the best of everything goes into this car. The Nash Standard Six, for instance, has a big, powerful 7-bearing, 6-cylinder motor, when other cars at the price and above the price are still giving you only 3 or 4 main bearings in your 6-cylinder motors. Furthermore, the Nash Standard Six engine is mounted on rubber and is full-pressure lubricated to every single bearing surface, exactly like the most expensive cars built today. And this car is the only car at anywhere near its low price with so many refinements to add pleasure and safety to your travel. Alloy steel springs plus the latest type of shock absorbers, walnut-finished instrument board with indirectly lighted panel; gasoline gauge on the dash, double-beam headlights with steering wheel control; five steel disc wheels; and, above all, mechanical 4-wheel brakes with the famous Nash 2-way action, weather proof and trouble free. You can pay considerably more money for your new car and not get anywhere near as much as you do in the Nash Standard Six. Your Nash dealer will be glad to quote you the price delivered to your door". | March 1928 Successful Farming |

Nash - Black and white 7" x 11" ad that talks about the Quality built into Nash automobiles. The ad has a photo of a Dark 4-Door parked on a flat area overlooking what looks like a lake. There are two people sitting in the car while three others, dressed in light-colored clothing, stand in front of the car admiring the scenery. The ad headline claims that "It's what the other fellow says...That Counts!" and the ad talks about how Nash owners and their competitors are talking about their quality. This, the adwriters feel, is more important that what the company has to say. The ad gives prices of $775 for a 4-Door Sedan, $775 to $865 for a Big Six, $1065 to $1145 for an Advanced Eight, $1575 to $1625 for an Ambassador Eight, $1820 to $2055 for the Ambassador Eight with the longer wheelbase and $595 to $695 for the Nash-Built LaFayette. |

Nash - Full color 9" x 13" ad for the 1939 Nash. The ad headline starts off by saying that it could be "A Million Miles From Nowhere" above a drawing of a 1939 Red Nash Four Door traveling down a country road past some sheep that seem to be paying attention to the car. The text starts off by saying that "Somewhere over the blue horizon - beyond the place where the signposts stop - there's a hideaway where dull care can never trail you. A place where bass fight for a bare hook, and the soft air is heavy with pine. Shut your eyes and you'll see it. OK - get in a Nash and head it for the hills...it knows the rest of the way. Then you'll see a kind of travel that comes straight from the story of the Flying Carpet". The text goes on for another six paragraphs or so. There are two pictures with text under them, too. The first one shows nightime with a Nash parked outside and everyone sitting around a campfire. The caption here starts off by saying that "A home on the road, with a Convertible Bed...with special soundproofing and shock absorbers to give you living room quiet and relaxation". The next one shows a Nash being driven through a farm field, it looks like, behind an old Farm truck. There is dust being blown all over and the text starts off by saying that "No dust to soil, or spoil your trip". |

Nash - 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" ad that is for the 1940 Nash Automobiles. The pictures are all about Nash's driving through snow-covered surroundings and the headline says "Goodbye, Mr. Winter". It says to "Pick out a day when a roaring Noreaster has sent the last lone driver scuttling back home with frozen fingers. Then see if it's true what Nash owners say! That there isn't any winter any more. Out of the storm and up to your door will skim a car as sleek as the wind it cleaves, so gay its dancing wheels hardly touch the snow. You all pile in, from Granny down to the two-year-old...into seats as soft and deep as gossamer clouds. Then someone touches a magic dial - and presto! It's May. Fresh warm air that lets you shed coats down to your shirt sleeves...that brings back a springtime zest to go places. It's Nash Weather Eye magic - and lo, it's fully automatic. Your comfort always stays the same. Toe the throttle - and you feel a terrific surge of power whisk the city away. Then, a Fourth Speed Forward cuts in - and the countryside comes winging up. Suddenly a snowbound straggler blocks the way, but you zoom by with the reserve pick-up of the automatic Overtake. Outside the storm rolls on. But you can't feel its icy fingers...or hear the whine of the wind...or notice the frozen ruts below. You sail along as smooth and silent as Arrow-flight. Soon you'll find it - that secluded pond where singing skates make gay music in the frozen air. Let the rest of the world sit chattering by the radiator...let the almanac say snow - here in your Nash you know for a fact it's Goodbye Mr. Winter - for good. Why keep on "hibernating" half of every year...when many Nash models are priced next to the lowest. Get in a Nash today and collect on year 'round fun". There are three pictures with items of interest. There is a Red Nash coming to a ski lodge and the ad says that it has "Terrific Pick-up and power. From 15 to 50 MPH in less than 13 seconds, high gear - with the big Nash engine that delivers small car economy. New Fourth Speed Forward saves you up to 20% more on gasoline". The second picture shows a snow-covered roadway being driven on by a Blue Nash. "Through A Blizzard in summer comfort, you ride coatless in Weather Eye conditioned air warmth. Flash starting, even on coldest mornings, with Nash's exclusive manifold-sealed engine". The last picture shows a Blue Nash driving away through the darkness, "Safe At Night, Sealed Beam lights give glareless brilliance, 50% more power. Remember: Nash long life assures higher resale value. Dealers everywhere (over 1800) are ready to serve you". |

This ad has a picture of a Yellow Four-Door 1940 Nash parked on the sand as the lady is sitting on the sand as her husband comes towards her carrying an umbrella.

And when it wears out, you can go get a new onw like it -. Just a minute, though - are you having any fun? Get in a Nash and you'll know what we mean. But, get in quick - for a Nash Manifold Sealed Engine offers something so new in powers that it almost sizzles. Away you go - from 5 to 35 zipping miles an hour. Then a click - and without a whisper from the engine, you're Fourth Speeding along at a speedway pace. It's a new gear - new range of performance - with an Automatic Overdrive that sends you scampering up the hill ahead. Up and over the top...then down a wooded lane...snaking around sharp turns..."gunning" over riddled stretches of macadam...you swing along, amazed to find you're not clenching the wheel, not steeling yourself - for the bumps that never arrive. Even the air is different...kept dustless in summer - warm in winter - by Weather Eye conditioning. (Something you never saw happen in a car before) What matters that the signpost says you're far from home. You can sleep tonight in a Nash Convertible Bed...or come home in the dusk, like a phantom thing possessed, with the moonlight glistening on the eager hood ahead. This is adventure. This is life...this is the fun that you've been missing. Yes - a Nash does cost a bit more than the usual "All Three" cars. But it's a small difference in dollars that vanishes from your mind immediately. It's a difference in quality, though, that stands out in every point...a 7-bearing crankshaft instead of the usual 3 or 4...a double frame chassis, 300 to 400 pounds more weight than the small cars - for safety and long life. Features that save you money now, and bring more on resale value later. Come on - your best million miles are still ahead! You belong in a Nash today". In the left-side upper corner there are two pictures, one with the first words "Silent as a Shooting Star" and the other one saying that you can "Enjoy Every Weekend". |

The text tells us that "It's set a million tongues wagging from coast to coast - this new kind of car and what it does on a gallon of gas!" There are several Nash owners giving their accolades, then "Yet - economy is only one of the reasons Nash is the fastest-growing car in popularity in the lowest-price field. Drive it - see the other amazing differences. A front seat almost five feet wide. Coil springing on all four wheels, for the most amazing roadability you ever experienced. A welded body-and-frame.

Full color 7 3/4" x 10 3/4" ad that barely mentions the non-wartime activities of this company yet delivers a very powerful message to remind those at home what was going on far-away. There is a picture of a blonde girl in fatigues standing with a stunned look on her face as a U.S. plane is parked behind her with a Red Cross vehicle next to it. The headline says "I looked into my brother's face" and the text tells the story of jow, as a nurse, she had to check wounded soldiers as they were brought in. She would comfort them out and look for serious injuries and, as she was wiping the mud from one soldier's face, she realized that he was her brother. The text talks about the difficulties with mentally floating between a peaceful past and the horror of war, especially when it becomes as personal as it did for this nurse. It reminds us that the purpose for this action was to "keep on having the kind of America my brother and I grew up in" and we are reminded to "Keep it that way until we come back!". The ad proudly admits that their pre-war production has been replaced with the building of 2,000 h.p. Pratt & Whitney engines for Navy Vought Corsair fighters...making intricate Hamilton Standard propellers and readying production lines to build Sikorsky helicopters for the Army Air Force. |

They also mentioned plans to "build these cars in numbers three times greater than we did before the war" so they could "help contribute jobs, the opportunities, the futures which will insure the strong, vital and growing America all of us owe to those who are fighting and working to preserve it". |

The ad tells us that "You see it on every road you travel.... Car after car is a handsome new Nash. And listen to the talk about new cars - it's about Nash. It's about the amazing gasoline mileage of a Nash '600'...25 to 30 miles to the gallon, 500 to 600 miles to the tankful, at moderate highway speed. The 'talk' is about Nash bigness and beauty. The extra seat-room and head-room you get. The big rear compartment that takes a Nash Convertible Bed! The 'talk' is about Nash Conditioned Air. Automatic heat and ventilation that banish forever cold drafts, dust, stuffy air. And more- The 'talk' is about the soft cushioned ride of a Nash - the only car in its field with coil-springing on all four wheels. The 'talk' is about the amazing new safety of Nash utilitized body-and-frame construction. And the 'talk' is about Nash value and extra features: Above all, the dependability of a Nash that makes all the new things so worth while. This, then, is what's behind the overwhelming swing to Nash. The reason why even greatly expanded production can't meet the demand. There's a new kind of automobile dealer in America today. There's where you'll find the new Nash '600', and its brilliant running-mate - the Nash Ambassador". |

This is what you see in the X-ray view of a Nash '600' - built with a SINGLE UNIT body and frame. And the difference is something you can see and feel in a Nash '600' immediately. You see it in amazing gasoline mileage - better than 25 miles per gallon, at average highway speed. You see it inside a Nash...in far more head-room, leg-room, seat-room...wider doors...and accommodations for a Nash Convertible Double Bed. You feel it in performance. A Nash '600' is so much livelier...quicker in traffic, easier to handle...and rides so smoothly with soft coil springs cushioning all four wheels. You hear it in the hushed silence of a Nash. Yes, engineers predict that this new-day construction will someday be offered in all cars. It's inevitable - the right way to build an automobile. But - you have it today in a Nash '600'. And the research, engineering and manufacturing skill that have gone into this new kind of car is the recognized top job in an automotive industry. There's a new kind of automobile dealer in America today, too. That's where you'll see the new 1948 Nash '600' and Nash Ambassador". |

Then, the ad says that "We'd like to make a bet that - by 1952 - every new car will be built with a welded, rattle-proof unit frame-and-body...just as the Nash '600' is today. We'd like to bet that - within four years - every new car will have automatic heating and ventilation, as closely as a Nash Weather-Eye Conditioned Air System can be followed. We'd like to bet that - by 1952 - every automobile will have the comfort of complete coil-springing on all four wheels...just as the Nash '600' has today. We'd like to bet that - by 1952 - every full-size automobile will be trying for more than 25 miles to the gallon economy...just as the Nash '600' delivers today at average highway speed. We'd like to bet that - by 1952 - ever new car you'll see will have complete head-room and leg-room as well as seat-room for six passengers...as the Nash '600' offers today. We'd ike to make a bet that by every standard you judge an automobile - by quietness of operation, by performance, by ease of handling - you will discover that today's Nash '600' is clearly and unmistakably the pattern of cars to come". |

Nash Automobiles - Black and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad that is one of the series done by Ed Zern. The ad headline brags that an "Airflyte owner makes record Opening Day Catch!!!!" and the ad tells the story. A man, generously called the World's Worst Trout Fisherman, had all the fishing equipment he would need but he never caught a trout. To change his luck he bought a 1952 Nash Airflyte and on Opening Day his luck did change. He caught Trout after Trout, releasing them all, when finally the Kindly Old Game Warden ambled by and complemented him on his luck. The fisherman said that he had to attribute it to his Airflyte at which point they began to compare the fisherman's Airflyte with the Game Warden's Statesman Airflyte. After comparing the selling points of both cars the Game Warden happened to mention that the good luck the man was having may have something to do with the fact he was fishing in a State Hatchery. The man lef t, never to fish again, trading everything in but his Airflyte for a Hawaiian Guitar.
