I don't know if it's been mentioned, but a beautiful '53? Pininfarina
Nash-Healey Le Mans coupe just won Best of Show at Conclave in San Diego. It
got about 3 times the votes of the runner up.
However I still think the '53 Healey Abbott drophead coupe (only 77 made) was
the coolest car there
("For contextual comparison, the Nash-Healey is framed in U.S. auto history
with the 1953 Kaiser Darrin, 1953 Chevrolet Corvette and 1955 Ford Thunderbird."
"Clark Kent, played by George Reeves, drove a 1953 Nash-Healey roadster in four
episodes of the American 1950s television series Adventures of Superman. Dick
Powell owned the car"

While browsing in Barnes & Noble today I came across a book called "The
50 Cars to Drive", with contributions from Sir Sterling Moss, Carroll
Shelby, and Jay Leno. One of the cars was a 1952 Nash-Healey. What was
interesting, aside from the great cars, was that all of these cars,
including the Nash-Healey, were lauded for the pleasure of driving just
as they were!! Not with a Smitty 5-speed tranny, fuel injection, air
conditioning, etc., but admired and respected for what they were. If I
remember, the next time I'm there I will jot down the passage on the
Nash-Healey. You'all have a very nice 4th. You to Ed.
