Words of love by the copywriter
for 1941 Nash automobiles

 

Nash pro­mot­ed their entry into low-price car field with the cre­ativ­i­ty of a roman­tic copy­writer who invit­ed read­ers of this Life mag­a­zine adver­tise­ment to sweep and feast their eyes over the mag­nif­i­cent length of these 1941 Nash mod­els fea­tur­ing engines that purr and coil springs that made road bumps mirac­u­lous­ly disappear. 

This dou­ble-page spread appeals to the imag­i­na­tion.  Nash promised the “sump­tu­ous room and ride of a $1,200 auto­mo­bile”, the “sheer delight to take a new Nash over the worst road you know”, and to save as much as $100 a year in gas, oil and tour­ing costs. 

All of this and rear seat space that quick­ly con­vert­ed into a big dou­ble bed!

The copywriter’s poetic description of the 1941 Nash

Imagine —if You Can 

This big 1941 Nash Sedan sell­ing for the same
dol­lars you’D pay for an ordi­nary low-price car!

Designed and built —not for just 15 to 20 miles a gal­lon econ­o­my, but for a real 25 to 30!

Designed and built—not for min­i­mum size and com­fort —but to give you the sump­tu­ous room and ride of a $1,200 automobile.

Designed and built—not sim­ply to “match” the per­for­mance of its competitors—but for the thrill of your whole car-own­ing experience!

Here it is—Nash’s rev­o­lu­tion­ary low­est-priced car, three years in the making—designed and built as a unit—no “cut down” parts, no out-mod­ed engineering.

Sweep your eyes over the mag­nif­i­cent length of it—the front seat that’s near­ly five feet wide. Feast your eyes on it sleek styling…smartly two-toned, inside and out.

For the first time under $1,000—a “uni­tized” car. Body and frame are for­ev­er weld­ed into one sol­id, safe, rat­tle-proof, twist-proof unit.

Beneath its hood purrs a new kind of car engine—the Man­i­fold-sealed “Fly­ing Scot”. Its ter­rif­ic get-up-and-go…the smooth­ness of its radio-bal­anced crankshaft…are almost as phe­nom­e­nal as its economy.

Nev­er, in all your life, have you felt a car ride—or handle—like this!

 Here is the first car at its price with coil springs on all four wheels. The first car at any price with cost­ly Two-way Ball-bear­ing Steering.

It is sheer delight to take a new Nash over the worst road you know…and feel how the bumps mirac­u­lous­ly disappear…how staunch­ly you ride the sharpest curves.

In every fea­ture you see evi­dence of mil­lions of dol­lars of new Nash engi­neer­ing. A new Weath­er-Eye Sys­tem!  A Fourth Speed For­ward that rais­es Nash econ­o­my as high as 32 miles a gal­lon, in engi­neer­ing tests. The new 60-sec­ond Con­vert­ible Bed.

In every detail—the qual­i­ty, the pre­ci­sion work­man­ship that mean Nash “long life”

Truth­ful­ly, it can­not be com­pared with the lead­ing low-price cars you know—except in the mat­ter of price.

Yet with all these rev­o­lu­tion­ary fea­tures, all this fine car fea­tures, all this fine car size and com­fort, your savings—in gas, oil, and tour­ing costs—may eas­i­ly mean $100 a year to you!

Why con­sid­er any less mod­ern auto­mo­bile this year? Right now—for the sheer fun of it —go to your Nash dealer’s—get behind the wheel!
