Nash?

Yes! 24 hour lock for you.

Ray B. · April 29, 2013, 10:51:47 AM

I couldn't find her. Please unlock.

Otto Puzzell · April 29, 2013, 12:16:03 PM

As you wish.

ValkyrieGT · April 29, 2013, 04:18:39 PM

May I have the 1st letter, of the Nash model type that she was associated with?

Ray B. · April 30, 2013, 04:01:41 AM

Strange request, Valkyrie

A bit like asking for 25 % of the answer so you can add the rest, no?

The puzzle question posed asks for a make and a year only, with good reason, though some might argue that one model is more closely associated with her.

pnegyesi · April 30, 2013, 04:16:17 AM

did she appear in Nash ads?

Otto Puzzell · April 30, 2013, 04:59:04 AM

She did appear in some ads, and Nash was mentioned in them. But they were not Nash ads, per-se.

She also appeared in other promotional materials, that were not the type of advertisements that would be inserted into other materials.

Here's a picture from one of the ads in which she appeared, along with a well-known car guy...

Otto Puzzell · May 02, 2013, 05:17:58 AM

Perhaps searching for more about the guy in that second picture will lead you to a solution.

pnegyesi · May 02, 2013, 05:49:23 AM

did she appear in war promotional ads?

Otto Puzzell · May 02, 2013, 06:16:19 AM

No; the puzzle photo and the reason for it were in the post-war period.

Bill Murray · May 02, 2013, 07:06:55 AM

I am probably on a very wild goose chase here, but the man looks a fair bit like Henry J Kaiser Sr.
If so, the lady could be his daughter in law.

Bill

Anything to do with the Kaiser Foundation School of Nursing ?

No

Ray B. · May 03, 2013, 10:11:07 AM

It's George W. Mason, but I can't find anything by following the Kelvinator lead.

Otto Puzzell · May 04, 2013, 04:53:45 AM

Keep at it. The answer can be found in multiple places...

Otto Puzzell · May 14, 2013, 04:27:32 AM

I was sure we were on the brink of a solution.
