Nash-Healey — A Grand Alliance

by John Nikas with Hervé Chevalier

This book 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, Nash-Healey · A Grand Alliance 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. It also explores the marque’s successful competition record at iconic races like the Mille Miglia, 24 Hours of Le Mans and Alpine and Monte Carlo rallies.

Illustrated with over 1,100 images, most never previously published, including many from Donald Healey’s personal collection, this book is essential for all Nash-Healey enthusiasts and fans of sports cars from the breed’s golden era. With extensive endnotes and appendices, Nash-Healey provides an unprecedented understanding of the historical importance of these special vehicles.

With a foreword by Donald Osborne.
