Nash Advanced Six

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Nash Advanced Six Touring Car Series 260 (1927)

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

Nash Advanced Six Limousine Model Series 3520 (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.
