[edit] Edits
I'm going to be editing this page shortly. I have been publishing an AMC magazine for eight years now (http://farna.home.att.net/AIM.html), and researched the history of the Nash/AMC straight six for an article. Yes, the two are tied together! I don't know how to lay this out yet, but there are seven or eight iterations of in-line sixes along the same lines. The three used by AMC are actually the last three, but have direct ties with previous Nash designs. I could find no direct ties with Hudson sixes, though Hudson flat head sixes were used by AMC in the 55-56 models (all 57 Hudsons used the AMc GEN-1 327 V-8).
I'll probably list these engines as I did for my article -- with "Series Numbers" rather than as "Generations". So the ones used by AMC would be Series 5, 6, and 7 (or 6, 7, and 8... I'll have to check!). Minor alterations are listead as Series #A, Series #B, etc. This means I'll also have to write an article on Nash In-line sixes and tie the two together. I'm open to any comments, or if someone can think of a better way.
