Editing Nash Motors (section)

==Acquisition of LaFayette==
Nash was the principal stockholder in [[LaFayette Motors]], a company started in [[Indianapolis, Indiana]] in 1920. It later moved to [[Milwaukee, Wisconsin]], and became the producer of a large, powerful, and expensive luxury car. Other significant stockholders were Charles W. Nash and his friends and business associates. However, the LaFayette cars did not sell well.

In 1924, Nash absorbed LaFayette and converted its plant to produce Ajax automobiles. The LaFayette marque was reintroduced in 1934 as a lower-priced companion to Nash. LaFayette ceased to be an independent marque with the introduction of the 1937 models. From 1937 through 1940, the Nash LaFayette was the lowest-priced model, replaced by the new unibody [[Nash 600]] for the 1941 model year.
