The following was in today's local newspaper:
"If windshields could talk. By Bill Griffith, Boston Globe. Cars, like
people, have stories....Collector cars...often have...interesting histories.
Jonathan Stein, automotive writer-consultant, had the job of compiling many of
the stories of the 50-odd cars and motorcycles that went on the block April 30
at Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline, Mass. ... A "Sabrina" car. The 1953
Nash Healey roadster was a collaboration of a Donald Healey body with a Nash
engine. Healey was en route to America on the Queen Mary in 1949 in search of
an engine for his sports cars. He was thinking V-8, but a meeting with
Nash-Kelvinator president George Mason on the ship solved his problem, though
the Nash engine was a straight six. The version at auction, reputedly
originally purchased by golf star Sam Snead, was similar to the car William
Holden drove in the movie "Sabrina". Sold for $57,500...".
