NASH SIX COUPE

Mandate Finds Him Critical

Cold winter days now serve to emphasize still more
strongly the remarkable performance of the Nash
Six Coupe.
In zero weather, its 67-horsepower motor responds
with a celerity and ready vigor that is highly grat-
ifying.
It develops a steady flow of fluid, quiet power
regardless of any temperature.
Every atom of burnable gas is turned into smooth
travel, and your mileage per gallon the year-round
comes close to that of a "four."
Then, in addition, Nash engineers have achieved
so perfect a balance that the car travels rutted
or snow-piled roads without lurching or skidding.

It handles lightly and easily, turning quickly in
limited space.
And its every detail of equipment is planned for
your utmost comfort under even the most stormy
conditions.
See it on our floor today. You'll wonder, after a
thorough inspection, how such an outstanding
closed car can sell at a price so far below its real
value.
