nxi by wm flajole
nash kelvinator international nki custom / metropolitan proto later aka hudson and austin

bill flajole's original design model the nxi was market researched by george mason then
developed as a nash kelvinator international and released as the nki custom which changed to metropolitan, also sold as a hudson and by austin who had built them.
i reckon the example in question is the prototype nki, between 1950-52 but  'all the above'  could also be 'true'... relatively.

What's wrong with capital letters and punctuation, fnqvmuch?

Technically, this car may be the Nash NKI, but certainly not the nash nki.

i stand corrected (yet again & why i avoid it) on punctuation;  

"... Nash n.x.i. ..."  ROAD and TRACK, February, 1950, p13

nb., Erbas rule notwithstanding, yet another name, too ...

Thanks a lot, FNQVMUCH!
Not only did you prove you point ang gave us the expalanation for this spelling, but also pointed at his puzzle's title, and showed that it had been wrongly spelled.
I'l hope that Otto (it was his after all) won't mind if I correct that.

maybe just for the sake of correctness; either/or?
the best bit for me was reading - somewhere - that the final name had to be able to use the holes made for the previous name/s...

I don't know where does NKI come from. Maybe Otto does.
