The Lafayette
The Lafayette automobile was more than just a machine, it was a statement. First introduced in the early 1920s and named after the Marquis de Lafayette, this luxury car was built to rival the finest on the road. Precision engineering, refined styling, and a bold American spirit made the Lafayette a standout in its time.
Originally a standalone marque, the Lafayette brand was absorbed by Nash Motors in 1924, where it continued to carry the torch of accessible luxury. Though its production run was brief, the Lafayette left a lasting impression, a snapshot of an era where craftsmanship met ambition on four wheels.
Today, a Lafayette is more than rare, it's a rolling reminder of America's golden age of motoring and a tribute to the enduring legacy of innovation.
