1955 Nash Statesman
1955 Nash Statesman Navigation
Beginning in 1949, the Nash automobiles were built with unitizied-bodies. On May 1st of 1954, Nash and Hudson merged to form American Motors. President George Mason had hoped to bring Studebaker and Packard into the merger, but he passed away before this could be accomplished. In 1954, Nash introduced a low-priced automobile air conditioning system for mass market autos which was the basis for all modern auto air conditioning systems. Previous systems had filled half of the trunk with equipment. The Nash Statesman was the company's lower priced version of the Nash automobiles. For 1955, power was through a 195.6 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine capable of producing 100 horsepower. A larger, dual carburetor version was available, bringing horsepower to 110.
