Vehicle Description
1929 Nash 420 Standard Six Landau Sedan ?From a local Nash
collector ?184 CID L-head inline six-cylinder engine ?Three-speed
sliding gear manual transmission and 4.7 gearing ?Body by Seaman
Body of Milwaukee, Wisconsin ?Black interior with matching padded
fabric-covered roof and pleated brown mohair upholstery
?Coach-style rear passenger doors ?Dual cowl lights ?Four-wheel
mechanical brakes and semi-floating rear axle ?Yellow wood-spoke
artillery wheels ?Rear-mounted, full-size spare tire ?112.25-inch
wheelbase ?Give the customer more than he has paid for,? was Nash?s
advertising tagline before and during the Great Economic
Depression. This Nash Standard lived up to that slogan when it was
new. At 90 years old, it remains in solid and great overall
original shape. The car?s black paint is in overall great shape,
considering the car?s age; the windows are clear and crack-free
while the car?s lights (including its dual cowl lights) are in good
shape, including the Brown Bi-Lite driver?s side taillight. The
engine bay is very tidy (note the wood firewall) and out back is
full-size Firestone spare tire but no wheel. The car?s bi-level
chrome bumpers look great. Seaman Body Corporation of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin handled car bodies for Nash, which had its assembly
plants in nearby Kenosha. This Nash rolls on Firestone gum-dipped
tires, size 4.75/5.00-20 at all four corners. Each tire is mounted
to a yellow wood-spoke artillery wheel. The wheels and tires are
all in very good order. The car has a 112.25-inch wheelbase. Under
the vee-shaped hood is a 184 CID L-head inline six-cylinder engine
bolted to a three-speed sliding gear manual transmission and backed
by a 4.7:1 rear end. Inside, the car?s brown mohair upholstery is
in overall great shape; the front and rear bench seats look great.
In back are a blanket rail and a foot bar. There?s no carpet to
cushion anyone?s feet but the headliner above is in great
condition. A four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver while the
inner door panels and dashboard are all in good, original order. A
floor-mounted shift lever completes the interior. During the late
1920s, the Standard Six was Nash?s entry-level series. It resembled
the Special and Advanced Sixes but the Standard had a shorter
wheelbase and a smaller engine. It also had the five-passenger
Style 428 landau sedan with its formal rear quarters. Competition
to this Nash in 1929 included Dodge?s Six Series DA and
Oldsmobile?s F-29 Landau, among many others. If pre-war cars are
