Leeedy, I don't think that the green on the car ever went into production. The first photo does not show the car in its best light. It would not surprise me if MB had a lot to do with the design. Those were some exciting times.


Yes, but all the more reason why I chose to show you this green car photo. And again, it was not stated to me that it was a Nash-Healey color, but rather I was told it was the same color M-B used on the Caribbean.

And yes, the camera angle here (and perhaps the lens) appears to be compressing the Nash-Healey, making it look a bit stubby. But again, doubt if anyone ever saw this photo before.

Another thing that makes the shot unusual is showing the car with the top in raised position. Rarely ever seen. Anyway... for what it's worth.
