The compelling story behind America's first postwar sports car. The first book to examine the landmark effort that created one of the most successful racing sports cars of the 1950s and the incredible transatlantic partnership between Nash Motors and automobile designers Donald Healey and Battista Pinin Farina that spurred its construction. This entertaining read examines the men and machines behind the marque before, during, and after their time in the spotlight. A long-awaited exploration of one of the most influential vehicles built in the postwar era, this fascinating story will educate and enthrall from the first page to the last. Born from a chance encounter on the high seas, the union between Healey and Nash Motors produced the first true American sports car in the postwar era. Farina's later involvement brought some Italian flair to the Anglo-American hybrid, making it one of the first domestic models to boast European styling themes. Notwithstanding their small production volume, Nash-Healeys inspired other manufacturers to follow suit with sporting models that appeared in starring roles on film and television screens throughout the 1950s. The glamorous new generation of sports cars that followed appealed to enthusiasts worldwide and continues to thrill today. With extensive endnotes and appendices and featuring more than one thousand images--most never-before-published--Nash-Healey allows an unprecedented understanding of the historical importance of these special vehicles.
