Perhaps many of you already know this, but the early 30s Nash models 490, 990, 1090, 1190, 1290 etc. are recognized by CCCA as Full Classics, and very deserving. It's rare to get a chance to actually see one; if you have the opportunity to do so look at it closely, they are just magnificent cars.

I've been told that the 4.0 liter OHV 6 that Jeep used for so many years in the Cherokee evolved from an older Nash engine. I don't know if that's true, but it surely was one fine engine.

EDIT: That big Nash Eight used in the Full Classic series was 3-3/8 bore x 4-1/2 stroke for 322 cubic inches, and 9 main bearings.
