You didn't know Nash made trucks? Well, they didn't make many. Mostly they were adapted by Holmes as tow-trucks, and most were used by Nash dealerships in the postwar era.

Play by Steve Nash, Assisted By Milk
Two-time NBA MVP, Steve Nash, is a power-house on the court. As the Phoenix Suns’ star point guard, Nash knows that the nutrients in milk help keep him on top of his game. Steve Nash is the latest celebrity to join the Body By Milk campaign, created to encourage teens to be active and drink 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk everyday to stay healthy, lean and strong. Other athletes sporting the iconic 'stache in the campaign include Vince Carter, David Beckham and Sasha Cohen.
The ad copy reads “Off the court, milk provides the perfect assist. Its protein helps build muscle and some studies suggest teens who choose milk over sugary drinks tend to be leaner. Staying active, eating right and drinking 3 glasses of lowfat or fat free milk a day helps you look great and stay in shape. Score three for milk.”
The ad hits newsstands in Sports Illustrated on December 5, 2007.

Crosby, Stills & Nash At Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, Australia
Crosby, Stills & Nash put on an impressive performance tonight at Sydney's famous Hordern Pavilion.
Often referred to as "the voice of a generation", they maintain universal appeal, as demonstrated at a very full Hordern Pavilion in Sydney tonight.
They've been performing together for four decades and have fans stretching across several generations.
The legendary folk rock trio played such beautiful songs such as Marrakesh Express, Wooden Ships, Teach Your Children, Carry On, Our House and Long Time Gone.
Australian music lovers were sure treated tonight.
John Nash announced to the crowd before the concert that he was sick but would still perform, and you could tell the crowd appreciated his honesty - a trait not always exhibited in the music industry. I thought John sounded fine, and of course he is supported by other world class artists.
They have been around for what seems like forever, but they have hardly missed a beat, and their music is timeless, and seems as relevant today as when they first got together.
Fans - don't miss your only chance to see one of the world's best ever supergroups when they come to your city.
Promo...
In the words of Crosby, Stills & Nash - it's been a long time coming - but the wait ends now! McManus Entertainment is thrilled to announce that music legends Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) - David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash - will tour Australia in March and April 2012.
Since forming in 1969, the world's first "supergroup" have delivered countless hits, with their timeless harmonies and melodic folk-rock becoming a cornerstone of today's rock 'n roll. In 2012 CSN will take to the road once again, as they have done on a recurring basis ever since their very first gig together before half a million people at Woodstock more than four decades ago.
Hailed as 'the voice of a generation', fans can look forward to yet another epic performance as they play songs from their amazing catalogue of hits, including Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Marrakesh Express, Wooden Ships, Teach Your Children, Carry On, Our House, Long Time Gone, as well as the classic anthems of the Woodstock generation - Helpless and Woodstock.
The California sun-drenched embrace of their harmonies and musical variety has cemented their reputation as true music legends, but don't just take our word for it. In 1969, after seeing one of their shows, rock immortal Jimi Hendrix declared, "I've seen Crosby, Stills and Nash burnin' ass... they're groovy, Western-sky music," - and according to Rolling Stone, Jimi "knew what he was talking about."
These three consummate singer-songwriters have more than lived up to this reputation, with their masterpiece debut LP Crosby, Stills & Nash jumping straight to the top of the charts and Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. That same year, they were honoured with the GRAMMY® award for Best New Artist and the following year 1970's Déjà vu also made the prestigious "500 Greatest" list. CSN have since captured the hearts and minds of an entire era, becoming inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, as well as the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007.
CSN have been performing music together for more than four decades and have weathered changing times and various configurations, while simultaneously captivating the world with their peerless three-part harmony vocals, inspired songwriting, musical virtuosity and social activism.
Don't miss your chance to experience these iconic singer/songwriters perform live in 2012.

1954 Nash Ambassador Country Club WarBird Aircraft & Car Show, Front Range Airport, Watkins, CO, 28 July 2018.
The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) today announced the formation of two new North Area Shuttle (NASH) routes and a partnership with Tanger Outlet Centers, Inc.
The routes were developed to help CARTA achieve its goal of providing, safe, reliable, transportation while meeting the needs of its 7,000-plus daily riders. Tanger joins existing NASH partners Boeing and the City of North Charleston in the effort.
“The new routes are distinct, but equally useful,” said CARTA Board Chairman Elliott Summey. “We’re extremely excited about their convenience and the opportunities they’ll afford all riders, both residents and visitors.”
•Route 105 NASH Circulator
oA free, 16-stop circulator that runs on a looped route near Charleston International Airport and connects Boeing and Tanger Outlets to the Park Circle and Old Village areas of North Charleston.
oThis service runs seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., about every 30 minutes.
•Route 4 NASH Express
oA $3 route similar to other CARTA express services. Stops include Charleston International Airport, North Charleston Visitor Center, Tanger Outlets and the Charleston Visitor Center downtown.
oService frequency is about an hour, which means a trip from the airport to downtown or vice versa take approximately 30 minutes.
oThe route is the first Express service to run 7 days a week. It is open from 8 a.m. until midnight.
CARTA initially launched NASH last June as a single circulator linking area hotels, restaurants and retail, as well as Charleston International Airport and entertainment venues, in North Charleston. The service was the system’s first to utilize hybrid buses.
“Over the last several months, we’ve monitored NASH and felt there were ways to make it an even more dynamic tool for residents and visitors,” said CARTA Executive Director Christine Wilkinson. “The new routes soft launched in February and I’ve never seen as many suitcases on CARTA buses as I did during observation.”
Tanger officials also expressed their excitement about the service and new partnership.
“The North Charlestonians who work and shop at Tanger are now more connected to the outlets than ever,” said Tanger Outlets general manager Penny Benton. “And for those visiting downtown or who live on the peninsula without transportation, the exceptional shopping here is now only a $3 Express ride away. That’s the first of many great deals they’ll get.”
The new NASH service was officially launched at a press conference this morning in North Charleston. For full details on the new NASH routes, visit RideCARTA.com. Learn more about CARTA bus passes and all other routes at RideCARTA.com.

Just a Snippet from Wikipedia
The Nash Metropolitan is an American automobile that was assembled in England and marketed from 1953 to 1961.
It conforms to two classes of vehicle: economy car and subcompact car. In today's US terminology the Metropolitan is a “subcompact”, but this category was not yet in use when the car was made. At that time, it was variously categorized, for example as a "small automobile" as well as an "economy car".
The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets.
November 1955 saw the start of Metropolitan Series III (NK3) production (Commencing with VIN E21008 on 28 November 1955). A redesign at this time saw the Metropolitan's B-Series engine increased in capacity to 1,498 cc (91.4 cu in) (as used in the Austin A50 Cambridge). Polished stainless steel sweep-spears on the body sides allowed a new two-tone finish to be incorporated, which had the cosmetic effect of lowering, slimming, and lengthening the car. The new exterior colors were P905 "Caribbean Green", P910 "Sunburst Yellow", and P911 "Coral Red" with P909 "Snowberry White" as a contrast. The grille was also redesigned, and the hood had its non-functional hood scoop removed.
American Motors changed the designation to "Metropolitan 1500" to differentiate it from the earlier 1,200 cc (73 cu in) models. The interior was also changed to incorporate a "houndstooth" check material for the seats trimmed with white vinyl. The dashboard was also now painted black, rather than the body color as was the case for Series I and II Metropolitans.
The MSRP for Series III models was $1,527 (Hardtop) and $1,551 (Convertible). After VIN E35133 (16 April 1957) the exterior colors were changed to P910 "Sunburst Yellow", P912 "Berkshire Green", and P913 "Mardi-Gras Red" with P914 "Frost White" as a contrast. After VIN E45912 (9 January 1958), the color P910 "Sunburst Yellow" was replaced by P915 "Autumn Yellow" and P908 "Classic Black" was added to the available exterior colors.
In September 1957, AMC announced that it was dropping the Nash and Hudson brand names. The Metropolitan was subsequently marketed under the "Metropolitan" name only, and sold through Rambler dealers. It is believed that the Nash and Hudson Grille medallions were discontinued around October 1956 (VIN E28326); they were replaced with the "M" style grille medallion.
First reviews
Initial reviews of the Metropolitan were mixed. However, owners of the cars reported that the "Metropolitan is a good thing in a small package”
Automotive industry veteran and the largest publisher of automotive books at the time, Floyd Clymer, took several Metropolitans through his tests. He "abused" a 1954 Metropolitan convertible and "got the surprise of my life" with its "performance was far better than I expected", that he "felt very safe in the car", and that "it may well be that Nash has started a new trend in American motoring. Perhaps the public is now getting ready to accept a small car".
Clymer also took a 1957 Metropolitan hardtop through a grueling 2,912 mi (4,686 km) road test that even took him 14,100 ft (4,300 m) up Pikes Peak. He summed up his experience that "I can not praise the Metropolitan too highly. It is a fascinating little car to drive, its performance is far better than one would expect, and the ride is likewise more than expected".
According to Collectible Auto magazine, the car was described in Car Life's review as "a big car in miniature" that was "fun to drive" and "ideal for a second car in the family," while Motor Trend was not alone in regarding the rear "utility" seat as "a joke." Motor Trend praised the car's economy: their test Metropolitan returned:
39.4 mpg US (5.97 L/100 km; 47.3 mpg imp) at 45 mph (72 km/h),
27.4 mpg US (8.6 L/100 km; 32.9 mpg imp) at 60 mph (97 km/h), and
30.1 mpg US (7.8 L/100 km; 36.1 mpg imp) "in traffic."
Mechanix Illustrated editor Tom McCahill wrote: “It is not a sports car by the weirdest torturing of the imagination but it is a fleet, sporty little bucket which should prove just what the doctor ordered for a second car, to be used either for a trip to the movies or for a fast run to a penicillin festival.”
He added that it was a “nice-handling car with plenty of control and amazing dig, considering it is powered by a small Austin A-40 engine” and that the finish was “very nice”, although having no trunk opening except by pulling down the back of the rear seat “poses a problem.” His test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 19.3 seconds and could exceed 70 mph (110 km/h).
A Road & Track road test recorded acceleration from 0–60 mph in 22.4 seconds, "almost half of the VW’s 39.2." However the magazine noted that at 60 mph (97 km/h), a common American cruising speed at the time, the Metropolitan was revving at 4300 rpm, which shortened engine life, whereas the Volkswagen could travel at the same speed at only 3000 rpm. Road & Track's testers also said that the car had “more than its share of roll and wallow on corners” and there was “little seat-of-the-pants security when the rear end takes its time getting back in line.”
Road Test magazine said in 1954 that "on road-ability and responsive handling, the Met shines. It also offers easy maintenance and downright stinginess when it comes to gasoline consumption. Also, it's literally a brute for punishment.
On several occasions I took familiar corners at speeds half again what I would dare to use in some cars of twice the weight – proof that proper weight distribution, low center of gravity and well engineered suspension have more to do with roadability than massiveness, weight and long wheelbases. Admittedly, the short wheelbased Met does pitch moderately on very rough roads, but the sensitivity and ease of steering make driving a pleasure
