In 1917 Nash, another Wisconsin-based company located in Kenosha, purchased a half interest in Seaman, though Seaman continued to build bodies for other manufacturers. By 1937 Nash purchased all the outstandingshares in Seaman and the company later went on to become part of the American Motor Company, or AMC.
