Here is a period picture of the beautiful first-series Nash-Healey sports car. Hey, that looks like 007 James Bond at the controls ! It seems like just the kind of automobile that Sean Connery,...ummm I mean James Bond, would drive.

1951 Nash Healy Roadster

It is, John, isn't it ? I'm not sure who the two models were for the shot but I believe that is a first series Nash-Healey with a LeMans Dual-Jetfire engine under the hood. That is guaranteed to sweep any girl off her feet ! Smile

delightful picture, really conjures up thoughts and memories of the era. Love the car too, I'm sure there would a decent 1/43 around. Thanks Mike

Brooklin have a nice copy in 1/43. Here are some images from internet.

Thanks, Jeff ! It sure makes for a great model in any scale. I have a Signature second series Nash-Healey in 1/32 scale and it is also excellent.

That one looks terrific, Charles ! They did a fine job here and in a superb color, too.

That's beauty from Brooklin and Nash-Healey, John ! It certainly looks excellent in that pale green color.

great models, nice presentation John. Just checked the Brooklin on ebay, bit above my budget for now.
