1930 Nash Series 490 Sedan

The Nash 490 series was the company's top-of-the-line offering for 1930. It was powered by the company's first eight-cylinder motor - a twin-ignition eight, that developed 100 horsepower.

For 1930 the wheelbase of the senior series Nash automobiles was lengthened to 124 and 133 inches - the largest Nashes built to date. Standard equipment included: automatic radiator shutters, central lubrication system, electric clock, safety glass, oil filter and automatic fan clutch. Optional equipment on this car included dual side-mounted spares, 6.50 x 19 wire wheels and a rear-mounted trunk.

This car was rescued from an Iowa field in the early 1970s and stored until purchased by the current owners. The husband and wife team did most of the restoration themselves over a five-year period.
