Nash. Took over Thomas B. Jeffery Company, builders of Jeffery and Ramble autos, after Jeffery survived the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and decided to retire. Factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin Nash became the leading producer of military trucks by the end of World War I. Nash autos in the 1920’s were best-sellers because of their neat, conservative styling, tidy engineering and competitive pricing Charles Nash quoted in 1926, “selling for a long time has been 100% a production problem... month after month all the cars that could be produced were sold before they left the factory floor." Nash would eventually acquire the appliance manufacturer Kelvinator, in 1937. Hudson Motor Car Company was taken over in 1954 to form American Motors. American Motors acquired Kaiser Jeep (the descendant of Willys-Overland Motors) in 1970. In the early 1980s, AMC entered into partnership with Renault. AMC was absorbed into Chrysler Corporation in 1987, becoming Jeep-Eagle. “The large print giveth and the small print taketh away”- Tom Waits: Please remember, this is a used car, which, as nice as it may be, is not prefect.
