Nash and Hudson were competitors. Early Nashes were big and pretty expensive cars. I remember a big Nash coupe with a golf bag door in the side that was sitting in an old farmstead. OHV six, IIRC. Hudson brought out the Essex as a lower priced line. this morphed into Terraplane about 1932. The last Terraplanes were the 38s. Hudson and Nash got together after WWII and formed American Motors, which made the Rambler. AMC also bought Jeep, I believe from Kaiser. When AMC got into trouble in the '70s it was bought by Renault. Automotive pundits soon coined the name,"Franco-American Motors". When Renault got tired of trying to outguess Americans at what kind of car they wanted, it was sold to Chrysler, which bought it mostly for the ever-popular Jeep line.
Then Chrysler "merged" into Daimler-Chrysler which gave us the 300, which has a lot of Mercedes-think under the skin.
Mercedes-Benz' parent company lost something like $30 billion buying and selling Chrysler. Fiat stepped into the fray buying Chrysler for a song, and maybe that was still too much.
So now, as it stands, Fiat owns Chrysler, Jeep, Ferrari, Maserati, and probably others I have forgotten.
Just two days ago there were two Fiat 500s in the parking lot where I work. Those were the first I have seen. They are smaller than a late model Mini.

One of the pieces of rusty scrap metal sitting on the farm is a nearly complete 1937 Terraplane 2-door flatback sedan. Looks like a 5/4 scale PTCruiser.
Anyone ever do one of those?
