Excellent panel gaps, excellent overall appearance, restored over 20 years ago, interior was original and correct until recently, carpets were tattered and leather was dry, correctly duplicated with Connally Hides and correct Wilton Wool Carpets, body color sanded and professionally polished, chrome removed and buffed, clutch and brake hydraulics recently serviced, fluids changed. A very unique special ordered car, soft top delete (yes that was an option) very rare roll-up windows listed in the Healey book by Bill Emerson, chrome valve cover and real chrome wires. it is believed that there are currently less than 10 of the 104 Panel Craft alloy cars in running and driving condition. Please read all the written text here these are very historically significant cars. this car has known history and is listed in the Nash Healey registry, still retains the original aluminum cylinder head. It was in 2 significant family collections in California for 62 years. We obtained the car from the Makhanian family (PEP Boys) they owned the car for over 20 years and they bought the car from the Carter family as in Carburetors who told the Makhanians that they had ordered and owned since new. Winner from day one: the first purpose-built American Sports Car Like many if life. Conceived with the engineering genius of England It is June of 1950., only months after it The starting grid is formidable including 4.5 litre Talbot-Lagos from France, looking like overpowered lightweight sprint cars. Three Ferraris from Luigi Chinetti And the results after 24 hours. Only 2 of the 4.5 litre Talbot-Lagos and Sidney Allard in the 5.4 litre Allard have bested the 3.8 litre Nash- Healey. The best the Jaguars can do is 12th and 15th. The fragile Ferraris are all parked , not one of the Prancing horses is prancing at the finish. The Cadillac team can only do 10th and 11th a beginning of several defeats at the hands of the Nash-Healey for American icon Briggs Cunningham. The Nash Healey is a monster success on the biggest stage in the world. Mason is sold, and authorizes the beginning of production.. A star is born. In the 1951 Lemans race Briggs Cunningham came to play. He entered three Chrysler 5.5 litre hemi-powered C2Rth as his cars were still somewhat overweight. The Panelcraft alloy bodied Rolt-Hamilton Nash-Healey was to finish a very nice 6th, this was the year of the C-type Jaguar and The Dunlop Disc brakes. Jaguar, Talbot Lago, Talbot-Lago, Aston Martin, Aston Martin, Nash-Healey, Ferrari 340 Several other Ferraris finished down the list. But the Nash-Healey The Mercedes-Benz factory was about to conduct a clinic on how to run a professional racing team.( I think history will show that a young Roger Penske was present, taking careful notes.) This was probably to date a world record for the amount of money spent by a manufacturer on a motor race ( not a government the Third Reich probably holds that record) . The Mercedes-Benz team had in addition to the requisite dozen or so engineers in the obligatory white lab coats at least 40 technicians, 5 fully prepared and tested racing cars (two were spares) and (unusual at the time) two semi trailers fully outfitted as workshops. I think we all know who was going to win this little fracas. Predictably the Mercedes team finished one-two. Score a victory to Rommel and the Panzers. Let So , is the story here that the little Nash was able to defeat all but the Panzers, or that once again no matter how many millions he spent, Briggs Cunningham could not defeat the Donald Healey design. No, the story is that for two generations foolish American collectors and vintage racers have fought tooth and nail (and checkbook) over In addition to its record at LeMans the Nash- Healey competed at the Mille th (out of over 400 entries in 1951) of 173 finishers. Nash Healey A special car was prepared for the 1953 Mille Miglia driven by American ace John Fitch. This incredibly fast car was well in it until forced to retire with brake (hydraulic) failure. 104 of these alloy bodied Panelcraft production cars were built. According to the Nash-Healey registry, as of today 20 are accounted for. Of these 20, seven are in operating condition.. Three can be classified as restored. Three of these early cars have been presented as entries into the modern day Mille Miglia, one of the most prestigious and exclusive events in historic motorsports. All three cars have been accepted and have run and completed the event. The point is this, the First 1953 Corvette was not the first American sports car. It is a nice cruiser built on a shortened 1949 Chevy frame with a fiberglass body constructed by a boat manufacturer. It has the same chance is a sports car event as a snowball in a frying pan. The Cunningham So alone and unafraid we have the alloy bodied Panelcraft Nash-Healey A car that cost $8000.00 delivered when the most expensive Ferrari cost $9500. That is why they were exclusive that is why there are not many around. In road trim they were 124 mph cars in race trim 144 mph cars. No other American car came close. This automobile is eligible for the most prestigious events in vintage motorsports. It will compete, no defeat, today as it did in the day Ferrari , Maserati, Jaguar, Alfa. Mercedes , et al. In short anything it comes up against. It will win on Show field or track, rally or race. There is no collection, no matter how grand, that this car will not enhance.

1 of 104 built alloy bodied Panel Craft cars, rust free California chassis, straight no electrolysis aluminum body. Excellent panel gaps, excellent overall appearance, restored over 20 years ago, interior was original and correct until recently, carpets were tattered and leather was dry, correctly duplicated with Connally Hides and correct Wilton Wool Carpets, body color sanded and professionally polished, chrome removed and buffed, clutch and brake hydraulics recently serviced, fluids changed. A very unique special ordered car, soft top delete (yes that was an option) very rare roll-up windows listed in the Healey book by Bill Emerson, chrome valve cover and real chrome wires. it is believed that there are currently less than 10 of the 104 Panel Craft alloy cars in running and driving condition. Please read all the written text here these are very historically significant cars. this car has known history and is listed in the Nash Healey registry, still retains the original aluminum cylinder head. It was in 2 significant family collections in California for 62 years. We obtained the car from the Makhanian family (PEP Boys) they owned the car for over 20 years and they bought the car from the Carter family as in Carburetors who told the Makhanians that they had ordered and owned since new. Winner from day one: the first purpose-built American Sports Car Like many if life. Conceived with the engineering genius of England It is June of 1950., only months after it The starting grid is formidable including 4.5 litre Talbot-Lagos from France, looking like overpowered lightweight sprint cars. Three Ferraris from Luigi Chinetti And the results after 24 hours. Only 2 of the 4.5 litre Talbot-Lagos and Sidney Allard in the 5.4 litre Allard have bested the 3.8 litre Nash- Healey. The best the Jaguars can do is 12th and 15th. The fragile Ferraris are all parked , not one of the Prancing horses is prancing at the finish. The Cadillac team can only do 10th and 11th a beginning of several defeats at the hands of the Nash-Healey for American icon Briggs Cunningham. The Nash Healey is a monster success on the biggest stage in the world. Mason is sold, and authorizes the beginning of production.. A star is born. In the 1951 Lemans race Briggs Cunningham came to play. He entered three Chrysler 5.5 litre hemi-powered C2Rth as his cars were still somewhat overweight. The Panelcraft alloy bodied Rolt-Hamilton Nash-Healey was to finish a very nice 6th, this was the year of the C-type Jaguar and The Dunlop Disc brakes. Jaguar, Talbot Lago, Talbot-Lago, Aston Martin, Aston Martin, Nash-Healey, Ferrari 340 Several other Ferraris finished down the list. But the Nash-Healey The Mercedes-Benz factory was about to conduct a clinic on how to run a professional racing team.( I think history will show that a young Roger Penske was present, taking careful notes.) This was probably to date a world record for the amount of money spent by a manufacturer on a motor race ( not a government the Third Reich probably holds that record) . The Mercedes-Benz team had in addition to the requisite dozen or so engineers in the obligatory white lab coats at least 40 technicians, 5 fully prepared and tested racing cars (two were spares) and (unusual at the time) two semi trailers fully outfitted as workshops. I think we all know who was going to win this little fracas. Predictably the Mercedes team finished one-two. Score a victory to Rommel and the Panzers. Let So , is the story here that the little Nash was able to defeat all but the Panzers, or that once again no matter how many millions he spent, Briggs Cunningham could not defeat the Donald Healey design. No, the story is that for two generations foolish American collectors and vintage racers have fought tooth and nail (and checkbook) over In addition to its record at LeMans the Nash- Healey competed at the Mille th (out of over 400 entries in 1951) of 173 finishers. Nash Healey A special car was prepared for the 1953 Mille Miglia driven by American ace John Fitch. This incredibly fast car was well in it until forced to retire with brake (hydraulic) failure. 104 of these alloy bodied Panelcraft production cars were built. According to the Nash-Healey registry, as of today 20 are accounted for. Of these 20, seven are in operating condition.. Three can be classified as restored. Three of these early cars have been presented as entries into the modern day Mille Miglia, one of the most prestigious and exclusive events in historic motorsports. All three cars have been accepted and have run and completed the event. The point is this, the First 1953 Corvette was not the first American sports car. It is a nice cruiser built on a shortened 1949 Chevy frame with a fiberglass body constructed by a boat manufacturer. It has the same chance is a sports car event as a snowball in a frying pan. The Cunningham So alone and unafraid we have the alloy bodied Panelcraft Nash-Healey A car that cost $8000.00 delivered when the most expensive Ferrari cost $9500. That is why they were exclusive that is why there are not many around. In road trim they were 124 mph cars in race trim 144 mph cars. No other American car came close. This automobile is eligible for the most prestigious events in vintage motorsports. It will compete, no defeat, today as it did in the day Ferrari , Maserati, Jaguar, Alfa. Mercedes , et al. In short anything it comes up against. It will win on Show field or track, rally or race. There is no collection, no matter how grand, that this car will not enhance.
