This very cool 1957 Nash Metropolitan is now available for sale in
our Milwaukee showroom. You will grab everyone's attention driving
down the road in this beauty. This green and white beauty has a
1,498 cc 4-cylinder engine with "three-on-the-tree" transmission.
While most U.S. automobile makers were following a
"bigger-is-better" philosophy, Nash Motor Company executives were
examining the market to offer American buyers an economical
transportation alternative. The Metropolitan was designed in the
U.S. and it was patterned from a concept car, the NXI (Nash
Experimental International), that was built by Detroit-based
independent designer William J. Flajole for Nash-Kelvinator. It was
designed as the second car in a two-car family, for Mom taking the
kids to school or shopping or for Dad to drive to the railroad
station to ride to work: the "commuter/shopping car" with
resemblance to the big Nash, but the scale was tiny as the Met's
wheelbase was shorter than the Volkswagen Beetle's. This 1957 Nash
Metro is for sale in our Milwaukee Showroom and can be seen at
