Nash-Healey

Nash-Healey – A Grand Alliance examines in exacting detail the story behind America’s first postwar sports car and the unique partnership between Nash Motors and automobile designer Donald Healey, which later became an international triumvirate with the involvement of coachbuilder Pinin Farina who brought Italian flair to the Anglo-American hybrid. Focusing on the lives and careers of the men behind these fantastic machines, this book dives into their prior accomplishments, before reviewing the design and development of the Nash-Healey roadsters and coupes, the United States's first true sports car in the postwar era.
