1920s Nash Ad Appraisal

Vintage 1920s Nash Motors Company Magazine Advertisement

This is an original print advertisement for 'The New Nash Six Touring Car' from the Nash Motors Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin, likely dating from the early-to-mid 1920s. The piece features a prominent monochromatic illustration of the five-passenger touring model filled with passengers, set against a backdrop of a residential structure. The layout includes the bold 'NASH' typography in a block-lettering style characteristic of the era's corporate branding. Below the image, the copy highlights the vehicle's economy of operation and rugged construction. The advertisement is printed on newsprint-style paper which shows significant age-related toning and yellowing (patina) throughout, consistent with its century-old manufacture. It is currently housed in a protective clear plastic sleeve with a white cardboard backing. The paper appears relatively well-preserved for its age, with sharp edges and no immediately visible tears or significant creases, though there is a slight transparency to the paper. The bottom margin includes references to the 'FOURS' and 'SIXES' model lines. This piece represents a high-quality example of early automotive marketing and graphic design during the boom of the American motor industry.
