American Motors was created in 1954 by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator
and Hudson Motorcar Company. The company lasted only 30 years producing
models such as the Gremlin, Javelin, Rambler and during the 1970's,
Jeep. Nash had gone through various names since its corporate founding
in 1902 as the Thomas B. Jeffery Co, maker of Rambler automobiles.
The Jeffery nameplate was applied in 1913, and became Nash in 1917.
Hudson was formed in 1909, and started selling cars to the public
in 1910. |
