This 1953 Nash-Healey LeMans Coupe draws its power from Nash’s big 252-cid, 151-hp Jetfire inline six-cylinder engine with dual sidedraft S.U. carburetors that is coupled to a floor-mounted, three-speed manual transmission with overdrive. Chassis number 3002 is recently restored, and is one of 162 limited production models, including convertibles, made for 1953 in a joint effort between Nash-Kelvinator and Healey. Its flowing Pininfarina body is painted in a dark red, and the contrasting tan leather interior features comfortable seating for two, along with tachometer, clock, radio and heater. The exterior is complemented with chrome wire wheels and whitewall tires. It rides on a 108-inch wheelbase with a boxed-steel chassis and sports suspension designed by British legend Donald Healey.
