Sal Hepatica Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Looks a little rough. Poor pictures. In the era of two and three tones, very unusual to be single color. Why is there no coral paint in the trunk? Not a Country Club hardtop, but a 4 door sedan... at least it's not a 6 cyl. Statesman. Nash Club plate frames. Forgot if they put the Ultramatic behind the 352 Packard; earlier they used Hydramatics. I dare say you could lop ten grand off and it's then not even close to a $7,500 car. I'd say it's a tough sell; they were a tough sell when new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Shifter Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I wonder where the designer got his "inspiration"? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloo Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 All kidding aside, it probably was heavily influenced by Pininfarina. The 1952 redesign of the bathtub and Rambler was done by Pininfarina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of the body colour, the trunk was mouse grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Instead of making thousands, imagine this was a 1 off Italian built body. Car would be worth a fortune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Btw, I really like the Nash Healey and wouldn't throw one out of my garage. The interiors are superior to all other sports cars in that class for that era. Doubt it is going to win any races against a XK140 but an all around attractive package. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
