With Nash’s all-new and radically styled 1949 Airflyte models, this was a adoption of aerodynamic principles in a low-priced mass-produced post-war automobile. The Airflyte’s design also extended its body over car’s front wheels, and these enshrouded front wheels remained a Nash hallmark until 1957. The Nash Rambler, produced from 1950 to 1954 in sedan, wagon and fixed-profile convertible body. The Nash Metropolitan was economy and subcompact car sold from 1953 to 1961. The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954, and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets.
