The Nash 600 is an automobile manufactured by the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation of Kenosha, Wisconsin, for the 1941 through 1949 model years, after which the car was renamed the Nash Statesman.
The Nash 600 was the first mass-produced unibody-constructed car in the United States and the era's most advanced domestic car design and construction. The "600" name comes from the car's advertised ability to go 600 miles (970 km) on one tank of gasoline.
The Nash 600 was positioned in the low-priced market segment. It was effectively the replacement for Nash's LaFayette line that was discontinued after 1940.
