Nash Advanced Six
The Nash Advanced Six was a six-cylinder passenger car that the Nash Motors Company in Kenosha produced from 1925 to 1929 as the successor to the Six model . In 1935 the name reappeared for a year for the successor to the Big Six .
1925-1929
Like its predecessor, the Advanced Six, model 160 , was available with chassis of 3,073 mm or 3,226 mm wheelbase. The overhead six-cylinder block engine with a displacement of 4,079 cm³ (bore × stroke = 82.6 mm × 127 mm) was also adopted. However, the power increased to 60 bhp (44 kW) at 2,400 rpm. Single-disc dry clutch and three-speed transmission (with center shift) were retained, as was the rear-wheel drive. All four wheels were braked mechanically.
There were various superstructures with 2–7 seats. In terms of appearance, the Advanced Six differed from its predecessor through a nickel-plated radiator frame and balloon tires.
In 1926 the lines of the new model 260 softened a little. The new in-line six-cylinder had a displacement of 4,562 cm³ (bore × stroke = 87.3 mm × 127 mm) and made an unchanged 60 bhp (44 kW) at 2,400 rpm. In the following year, this model got a more powerful engine with 69 bhp (50.7 kW) at 2,500 rpm. The displacement remained the same.
In 1928 the model 360 came , which had a slightly higher radiator than the previous year. The engine output increased slightly to 70 bhp (51 kW).
The 1929 model 460 - the last of the series - again had a taller and narrower radiator. Its border, the main headlights and the double-row front bumpers were now chrome-plated. With the same displacement, the engine now made 78 bhp (57.4 kW) at 2,900 rpm. The long chassis had a 3,302 mm wheelbase.
In 1930 the new Twin Ignition Eight and Twin Ignition Six models replaced the Advanced Six.
1935
The Advanced Six, model 3520 , took over from the Big Six the overhead control in-line six-cylinder engine with 3,848 cm³ displacement (bore × stroke = 85.7 mm × 111.1 mm) and 88 bhp (64.7 kW). All four wheels were braked hydraulically.
A 4-door sedan and a 2-door Victoria were available as superstructures on the chassis with a 3,048 mm wheelbase. The following year the 400 replaced this model.
