With the post-depression era in full spring, Nash Motors Company
following many manufacturers and decided to lure new buyers by
spoiling them with new options and bigger engines. In 1930, Nash
introduced its Twin Ignition Eight engine, but simplified the model
series in1931 to the Series Eight-90. Measuring 298.6ci, the inline
8 cylinder engine utilizes an incredible 9 main bearings for extra
dependability, spark plugs flanking both sides of the engine block
numbering sixteen, and an OHV head all feed by a Stromberg
carburetor to produce a stout 115 horsepower! They were
magnificently decorated cars with as much style as any larger
automaker! Offered here is a wonderfully represented original 1931
Nash Eight-99 Victoria 5-passenger Sedan finished in a two-tone
gray exterior with a matching gray cloth interior. Fitted with it
original 1931 date-coded 298.6ci Inline 8 cylinder engine and
3-speed manual transmission, it continues to survive with
impressive authenticity still today! You will find its original
Seamon Body Tag issued body # 899-249 (titled from this number)
along with its factory Nash Chassis # tag L511672. The engine bears
block date casting 2-9-31 (February 9th, 1931) and engine #396871,
still fed by a rare Stromberg UUR-2 carburetor. Options on this
example include dual side-mounted spare tires with polished
stainless steel covers, front grill guard, beautiful Mermaid
radiator mascot, large Glo-Lite headlamps, Do-Ray fog lamps, front
license plate holder, twin cowl vents, crank-out windshield,

auxiliary AC engine oil filter! Inside, the amenities continue with
a jewel like dash & accessory hardware, rear entry assist handle,

center armrests! This Nash 899 has been in the hands of the former
Alabama family since October of 1996 and over their 21 years of
care, it's been garage kept and exercised sparingly but as often as
possible. It will come with a copy of the original operator's
instruction & care manual, hub cap removal tool, and extra keys. It
continues to start and run quite well, and more importantly shows
as a solid & rust free example not easily found on the market
