1949 Nash 600

THIS 1949 NASH AIRFLYTE IS LOCATED IN: SAN DIEGO, CA 92154 The aerodynamic 1949 Nash Airflyte was the first car of an advanced design introduced by the company after the war. Its aerodynamic body shape was developed in a wind tunnel. A radically aerodynamic design was first proposed around 1943 by two independent designers, Ted Pietsch and Bob Koto, to Nashs Vice President of Engineering, Nils E. Wahlberg. The resulting all-new 1949 production cars were similar to the proposed sketches. The objective was to reduce the automobiles bodys drag coefficient by using a smooth shape and enclosed front fenders. Closed fenders were conceived by Nash engineers also in the exploration for added strength of unibody construction, whereas Hudson, a close competitor incorporated an actual unibody frame section into its closed rear wheel openings at about the same time. The cutting-edge aerodynamics of the all-new postwar design were the most alarming in the industry since the Chrysler Airflow. 1949 NASH AIRFLYTE 600 CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE IN HAND NICE ORIGINAL CONDITION BLUE EXTERIOR WITH GRAY INTERIOR THE ODOMETER SHOWS 79,039 MILES INLINE 6 CYL.
