The Nash-Healey was a unique international collaboration. The project began after a chance meeting between Nash-Kelvinator CEO George Mason and British sports car builder Donald Healey. Early cars featured English bodies by Panelcraft, but from 1952, design and construction moved to Pinin Farina in Italy. Power came from a Nash Ambassador inline-6, making it a true blend of American power and European craftsmanship.
Collectors are drawn to the Nash-Healey for its rarity, beautiful design, and historical significance as one of America's first post-war sports cars. With only 506 cars built between 1951 and 1954, they are seldom seen. The car also boasts a Le Mans racing pedigree, with a 3rd place overall finish in 1952, adding to its credibility and appeal for enthusiasts who value competition history.
The market for Nash-Healeys is thin but strong for good examples. The wide price range reflects the vast difference between project cars and restored, concours-quality vehicles. Given their hand-built nature, originality and completeness are the primary value drivers, as unique trim and body panels are extremely difficult to source.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the steel body and chassis carefully for rust, as this is the biggest issue. Check panel gaps, which can be inconsistent even from the factory.
- Verify the originality of the Nash inline-6 engine. While durable, many were swapped over the years, and a numbers-matching car is more valuable.
- Prioritize completeness. Small trim pieces, badges, and interior fittings are exceptionally rare and can be very expensive to find or reproduce.
- Research the car's history and provenance. Documentation confirming its origins or any period racing activity significantly increases its value.
Based on recent sales, prices range from $1,000 for projects to $93,500 for top-tier examples.
