Nash Healey and Healey technical and historic documents
This
section of the web site deals with technical and historic documents relating
to Nash Healey sports cars. Primarily the documents are those that were given
to me upon purchase of my 1954 Nash Healey LeMans Coupe, and were the property
of Roy D Stetina a previous owner of this car. As time permits I will add
all of these documents to this page, and also build on the collection. Some
of the documents relate to the formation of the first Nash Healey Association
in 1958 including newsletters and correspondence. They provide some insight
in the Nash Healey as seen in the days when they were near new cars. Some
lucky owners may find reference to their cars, as there are some car numbers
mentioned.
Any further document contributions would be appreciated and credited, so if you have further information you would like to share on this page, I would be happy to publish it here.

Nash Healey V8 Conversions
At the time of production the Nash Healey was the product of the Nash - Kelvinator Corporation, in 1954 Nash Aquired the Hudson Motor Car Company and created The American Motors Corporation ( AMC ). However during production of the Nash Healey only the Nash 6 cylinder engine was available. In 1955 the AMC V8 was available, so some cars were converted to AMC V8 by dealers and staff, as well as a few owners who also saw the opportunity to increase power using the light weight and more powerful V8 engines from various manufacturers that were becoming available. This section of the site is about these cars, which is also part of cl;assic car history where young men looked to create their own sports cars based on available parts.
Carl Chakmakian worked for AMC in Detroit as Engineering and Service Operations Manager and Racing Director.

This car appears to be a prototype built with a Siata chassis rather than the Healey chassis used on all of the other Nash Healey Production. In the Nash Healey Association bulletin number 6 from 1959 it is described as a 54 / 55 car and called a Farina Nash Siata Roadster. I have not been able to determine if the car still exists.
