Farina designed the 1953 Nash-Healey and the cars had a complicated build process. Engines were shipped from the USA to Healey in Britain. Here the chassis and running gear came together before the completed chassis were shipped to Italy where Farina built the bodies. The completed cars then returned to the USA. Altogether 150 of these cars were produced with a further 90 hardtop versions following in 1954 when production eventually ended. In total just over 500 Farina-bodied cars were built.
