The Appeal
The Nash Standard Six was a successful mid-range American automobile of the late 1920s. It was built along the standard design principles of the day, with rugged simplicity making it very dependable. The high ground clearance and strong suspension were ideally suited to the rough rural tracks of the American backcountry.
This particular car is presented in excellent condition. It has been recommissioned by its current owner, having spent a long time unused in a private collection. The paintwork is very presentable and the interior has been retrimmed to a high standard.
