If your last name is Kierstein and it’s your birthday, you might not want to declare the Nash Healey as the ugliest sports car ever. Cuz that’s what you’re going to get.

Lucky for me my last name isn't Kierstein. And it's not my birthday. Because the Nash Healey is definitely in the running for ugliest sports car ever. I mean, it's no Gumbert Apollo, and it's definitely no Mitsuoka Orochi. But even a mother couldn't love that face.
Doesn't it resemble that Czech thing that was posted a while back? It looks like an old style electric razor that someone made a car out of.
Ugly? The Nash-Healey looks pretty sharp, with the only odd detail being the inboard headlights. It's far from the ugliest sports car – for visual horror, it can't hold a candle to the Daimler SP250.

Did you listen to that podcast? I called that Daimler SP 250 out as the ugliest also.
That's a severe underbite you have, buddy.
The good thing about that mouth is that it draws attention away from the other odd parts. Cover the grille and bumper with two fingers on the screen and then look at it again.
I say, I quite fancy it.

Eccentric and distinctive. I'd be happy with one as a birthday present!
When new it must have looked futuristic.
Ugliest? I'll throw you a Weber in the contest.

I really didn't need to see that, no.
What kind of grin is that?! Jesus, that thing has really offended me.
I never used to but these days I really like the Nash Healey. Others must agree as they don't come cheap these days.
Jeezuz, it looks like a mutated Fiero. Ugly as homemade sin.
I think the Pininfarina-designed Nash Healey is a very nice design… can't say the same for the original.
