Nash Healey Pininfarina Coup

Vintage Motorcars, Westbrook, Connecticut, USA

The Nash-Healey is a two-seat sports car that was produced for the American market between 1951 and 1954. Marketed by Nash-Kelvinator Corporation with the Nash Ambassador drivetrain and a European chassis and body, it served as a halo (or image) vehicle, or flagship car, for the automaker to promote the sales of the other Nash models. It was "America's first post-war sports car",[2] and the first introduced in the U.S. by a major automaker since the Great Depression.[3] The Nash-Healey was the product of the partnership between Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and British automaker Donald Healey. Later on, the car was restyled by Pinin Farina and subassembly begun in Italy. Wikipedia

I remember the Nash-Healey.

I think the beauty behind it is a 1928 Packard with a custom body.
