Corvette for me, largely for its styling. Then Nash-Healey.

Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Nash Healey for me followed by the Corvette. The Kaiser Darrin just looks a little awkward with the sliding doors and unusual grill. Thanks John. All would fit in my driveway.

Corvette wins by a nose over Nash-Healey; Kaiser styling is a distant third.

Nash-Healey.  Pininfarina's Lancia PF 200 set off an auto styling queue - the large open, ovoid grille, like a jet engine intake - that to me is very influential. We see it here in his styling of the Nash-Healey and later in Ghia's Firearrow series overseen by Exner. The Corvette is very pretty and set in motion a long lasting pedigree but I would want the Nash Healey.

Nash-Healey by the proverbial mile, never did like the '54 Vette styling and the Darrian is just too different/strange for me.

The Corvette just for the legacy aspect. Then the Nash.

Yep, C1 through C8, 70 years and still going strong. This 2023 is a ZO6 70th Anniversary Edition that belongs to a member of one of the Corvette clubs that I'm a part of.
