  • The Ajax was an American automobile manufactured by the Nash Motors Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin between 1925-1926. The Ajax was produced in the newly acquired Mitchell Motors Company plant in Racine, Wisconsin. Mitchell was the manufacture of Mitchell brand automobiles between 1903-1923. The Ajax was built using machinery from Nash's other acquisition, the LaFayette Motors Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which was moved to and installed in the Racine plant. Despite receiving good reviews from the automotive press and the general public, the Ajax brand was discontinued in 1926 after over 22,000 models were sold. Charles W. Nash ordered that the production continue instead as the Nash Light Six. Production was stopped for two days while Nash hub caps, emblems and radiator shells were trucked to Racine where all unshipped Ajax brand cars were badge engineered into being Nash automobiles. Likewise, kits were sent to dealers to retrofit all unsold cars. Nash even made the kits available at no charge to consumers who bought Ajax cars, but did not want to own an orphaned make automobile, to protect the investment they had made in a Nash Motors product.
  • Der Ajax war eine Automarke, die die Nash Motors Company in Kenosha im Mai 1925 etablierte, um auch im Niedrigpreissegment (um US-$ 1.000,--) ein Fahrzeug anzubieten. Die Konstruktion des Ajax basierte auf der der größeren zeitgenössischen Nash-Modelle Special Six und Advanced Six. Das Konzept der Billigmarke ging aber nicht auf; es wurden nur ca. 20.000 Ajax verkauft, während der Special Six und der Advanced Six im gleichen Zeitraum wesentlich höhere Stückzahlen erreichten. Daher ließ man im Folgejahr die Marke wieder sterben und benannte den Sechszylinderwagen in Nash Light Six um. Zwei Jahre später hieß das überarbeitete Modell Nash Standard Six.
  • Ajax var et amerikansk bilmerke som ble produsert av Nash Motors i Kenosha, Wisconsin i 1925 og 1926. Ajax ble produsert i den gamle fabrikken til Mitchell Motors i Racine, Wisconsin. Ajax ble bygget ved hjelp av maskiner fra Nash's andre oppkjøp, LaFayette Motors fra Milwaukee, Wisconsin, som ble flyttet til og installert på fabrikken i Racine. Til tross for gode omtaler i motorpressen og en god mottakelse hos publikum ble Ajax-merket lagt ned i 1926 etter at mer enn 22 000 eksemplarer hadde blitt solgt. Charles W. Nash bestemte at produksjonen skulle fortsette under navnet Nash Light Six. Produksjonen ble stoppet i to dager mens Nash hjulkapsler, emblemer og radiatorlokk ble kjørt til Racine, hvor alle Ajax-bilene som enda ikke var sendt ut ble modifisert til Nash-modeller. I tillegg ble utstyr sendt til alle forhandlere, som byttet logoer på de bilene som enda ikke var solgt. I tillegg gjorde Nash slike sett tilgjengelig for kundene, som allerede hadde kjøpt en Ajax-modell, slik at de selv kunne endre logoene på bilen sin og gjøre den til en Nash.
