Storied Independent Automakers - Nash, Hudson, and American Motors

With roots extending back to the first decade of the twentieth century, Nash Motor Company and the Hudson Motor Car Company managed to compete and even prosper as independent producers until they merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Company, which itself remained independent until it was bought in 1987 by the Chrysler Corporation.

In this book, renowned automotive scholar Charles K. Hyde argues that these companies, while so far neglected by auto history scholars, made notable contributions to automotive engineering and styling and were an important part of the American automobile industry.

Hyde investigates how the relatively small corporations struggled in a postwar marketplace increasingly dominated by the giant firms of Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, which benefited from economies of scale in styling, engineering, tooling, marketing, and sales. He examines the innovations that kept the independents' products distinctive from those of the Big Three and allowed them to survive and sometimes prosper against their larger competitors.

Hyde also focuses on the visionary leaders who managed the companies, including Charles Nash, Roy D. Chapin, Howard Coffin, George Mason, George Romney, and Roy D. Chapin Jr., who have been largely unexamined by other scholars.
Finally, Hyde analyzes the ultimate failure of the American Motors Company and the legacy it left for carmakers and consumers today. Storied Independent Automakers is based on extensive research in archival collections generated by the three companies.

Works Healeys In Detail - Healey, Nash-Healey and Austin-Healey works competition entrants, car by car

Donald Healey comenzó en el rally en la década de 1920 y pronto ganó fama en Europa. Empresario exitoso, soñaba con fabricar automóviles deportivos y, en 1946, lanzó sus primeros modelos, el Westland roadster y el Elliott sedán, desde su pequeña fábrica en Warwick.
El Elliott, con más de 110 mph, fue el sedán más rápido de su época y participó en rallyes desde 1947. Luego llegaron el Silverstone, el elegante Tickford, el Nash-Healey y el famoso 100, que pronto se convirtió en el primer Austin-Healey, dando origen al 100/6, el 3000 y el Sprite.

Este libro narra la historia de los automóviles de Healey en rallyes, carreras y récords desde finales de la década de 1940 hasta el último Austin-Healey Sprite de competición en 1967. Incluye versiones de competición del 100, 100S, 100/6 y el exitoso 3000, que dominó los rallyes internacionales en los años 60 con pilotos como Pat Moss, Timo Mäkinen, Rauno Aaltonen y Paddy Hopkirk.
El autor detalla la historia de cada coche oficial - participaciones, pilotos y resultados - con fotografías históricas y detalladas imágenes en color de modelos preservados.
