1918 Nash Quad Truck

Summary

"Tough" hardly begins to describe the Quad trucks built by Jeffery Company, and then Nash Motors Company, from 1913-1928. All four wheels were powered, all four wheels were used in steering, and special differentials allowed all four wheels to move independently as traction conditions required. French, British, and American armies made wide use of the Quads in World War I.
