A Nash Quad in Holland



Tony de Vries: "In 1997 I bought three boxes of glass black and white negatives in an antique shop. Mainly because it had a lot of old motorcycle pictures just went through the pictures and found some old cars as well.  Hope you can identify this car for me."

editor: Well, that for sure must be a Nash Quad, a succesful 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel brakes and 4-wheel steering (!) truck that was developped for among other things ammunition transport in WWI. It looks like this one had a military purpose as well and maybe the experience with driving and or maintaining this versatile beast formed the basis of the succes of the D & V garage. We will show you a few other cars they had a bit later this week. In the meantime have some fun with starting up this Quad. 

editor: Tony de Vries, can you please contact us, we do not have your e-mail address.

I think the lorry is in fact a Jeffery-Quad, the wheels, radiator and standard US wooden cab are all the same as the Jeffery-Quad I restored back in the early 1980s. Nash took over the Thomas B. Jeffery company in July 1916 and continued building the Quad but had a much stronger radiator and a 'star' pattern casting to the wheel centres.
Mine had been supplied new to the French army in 1915 and survived as a maintenance truck at the Le Mans 24 hour race circuit until I purchased it from there in 1979.

Might still have been badged a Rambler (up to 1915) or a Jeffery up to 1917 when the Jeffery company was sold to Nash.
