The '''Nash-Healey''' is a three-seat luxury [[sports car]] or [[grand tourer]] produced from 1951 to 1954. It was marketed by the [[Nash-Kelvinator]] [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerate]] in North America as a [[Halo effect#Marketing|halo car]] to promote sales of its [[Nash Motors]] division.

The car resulted from a joint venture between Nash-Kelvinator and British automaker, the [[Donald Healey Motor Company]]. Nash supplied the [[drivetrain]] from their range-topping [[Nash Ambassador|Ambassador]] model, and Healey provided the chassis and early bodies. One year after its introduction, the car was restyled by [[Pinin Farina|Pininfarina]], and the final assembly was transferred to Italy. Some describe the Nash-Healey as the first sports car introduced in the U.S. by a major automaker after the [[Great Depression]].<ref name="pm-mar1951"/><ref name="cgc-nov2019"/>

Various Nash-Healeys, some modified road cars, and some purpose-built racers competed in several endurance racing events, most notably posting a third-place finish at the [[1952 24 Hours of Le Mans]].
