The LaFayette Motors Corporation was founded in 1920 but was taken over by Nash and discontinued after 1924. Nash brought back the LaFayette marque in 1934 as a low-priced brand, but in 1937 the LaFayette became a low-priced Nash model with the same styling as the larger, more expensive Nash Ambassadors, just on a shorter wheelbase, and powered by a 99-horsepower 234.8-cubic-inch inline 6-cylinder engine. 1940 would be the last year for the Nash LaFayette, as it would be replaced in 1941 with the all-new unibody Nash Ambassador 600. This 1940 Nash LaFayette Convertible Coupe was photographed at the 2004 Clatskanie Heritage Days Car Show.
