The Nash 600 is an automobile manufactured by the Nash-Kelvinator Corporation of Kenosha, Wisconsin, for the 1941 through 1949 model years, after which the car was renamed the Nash Statesman.

The Nash 600 was the first mass-produced unibody-constructed car in the United States and the era's most advanced domestic car design and construction.[5] The "600" name comes from the car's advertised ability to go 600 miles (970 km) on one tank of gasoline.

The Nash 600 was positioned in the low-priced market segment.[6] It was effectively the replacement for Nash's LaFayette line that was discontinued after 1940.[7]
