Nope. Nash was doing it in the early 40s before Hudson! The 1941 Nash 600 
was unitized construction, and as far as I know that was the first American 
car with unit construction (the reason I know is because I would *really* 
like one!).

However, I am so bruised from my experiences of being so wrong so much this 
evening that I expect someone will correct me!

Mind you, I *do* know that Lancia was unit construction in 1922 (yada, yada, 
yada...).

Cheers
