More to this than meets the eye/George Romney and Nash Ramber merge

I get the definite impression that small economical cars were not to be put into the public domain.  Who made this decision I wonder?  hmmmmmmm  ...cal

Excerpt:
American Motors Corporation (AMC) was an American automobile company formed by the 1954 merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company. At the time, it was the largest corporate merger in U.S. history.
George W. Mason was the architect of the merger to reap benefits from the strengths of the two firms to battle the much larger "Big Three" automakers (General Motors, Ford and Chrysler). Within a year George W. Romney took over, reorganized the company and focused the future of AMC on a new small car line.^[3] By the end of 1957 the original Nash and Hudson brands were completely phased out. The company struggled at first, but sales of the Rambler took off. Its cars were frequent winners in Mobil Economy Runs^[4] and Ramblers became America's third most popular car during the early 1960s.^[5] In the mid-1960s, the leadership of Roy Abernethy focused AMC on larger and more profitable car lines to move away from the Rambler's perceived "negative" compact car image. However, AMC's deteriorating financial and market position put Roy D. Chapin, Jr. in charge to revitalize the company. Prices and costs were cut while new and more "sporty" automobiles were introduced. AMC became known for their new, popular muscle car offerings beginning in 1968 with the Javelin and AMX. Designer Richard A. Teague developed many vehicles from common stampings, resulting in cost savings for a company that often lacked operating capital.

Excerpt:
American Motors was formed in 1954 from the merger of Hudson Motors and Nash-Kelvinator. The deal was the largest corporate merger up to that point - worth $197,793,366 - but was just one phase of a planned megamerger of Hudson, Nash, Studebaker, and Packard. The combined company would cover all segments of the market, and their size and ability to share engineering would amortize costs nicely; at least, that was the plan of Kelvinator’s George Mason, whose company owned Nash. The name “American Motors” originated with Mason, who started working on the plan just after World War II (thanks, Dan Minick.)

Excerpt:
Because of their compact design, Wankel rotary engines have been installed in a variety of vehicles and devices such as automobiles (including racing cars), along with aircraft, go-karts, personal water craft, chain saws, and auxiliary power units. The most extensive automotive use of the Wankel engine has been by the Japanese company Mazda.

Topic started on 9-12-2004 @ 06:30 PM by shots gas milage. Think the Rambler had a carb that could get 50 MPH and that was in 47 or 49 imagine what they would get per mile these days had they actually developed it?

Or is this a conspiracy from the auto makers/ Steel and or Aluminum Companies? After all they use fewer parts meaning they would cost less to make and reduce their profits on replacement engine parts. ( I say this for one reason I understand they have very very few moving parts) Just how many am not sure, but heard at one time it was only four. (do not hold me to that though OK?)

Can you imagine what the world would be like if we could run all lawn mowers, cars, boats etc with very few parts and on hydrogen no less.
Lower cost to the average consumer, wow think of what that would mean?

Nay it is not possible everyone in the world will be in on this one and want to stop it for one reason or another.


Keep in mind if they did manage to complete it's development, we could say bye bye Iraq Oil and Middle eastern oil for that matter. I say this assuming that what oil the US has is enough to lubricate them properly.

What do you think. ?????????????????????????????

Ok we all know that the Wankel Engine has very few parts.

There is one major problem though as I understand it. The seals keep failing so they cannot devlop an engine that is ideal for hydroygen fuels.

Just why can't they develop those seals?

Is this another conspiracy between the Oil companies? Keep in mind they meaning the major oil companies did manage to put an end to both the Nash Rambler and the Turner (Think that is the correct name could be wrong) because they both claimed very low

Felix Heinrich Wankel (August 13, 1902 – October 9, 1988) was a German mechanical engineer and inventor after whom the Wankel engine was named. He is the only twentieth century engineer to have designed an internal combustion engine which went into production.^[1]
