1957 Nash Metropolitan
VIN: E32393
Produced from 1953 to 1961, the Nash Metropolitan is described both as an economy car and a sub-compact. While "sub-compact" was not a term used in 1957, it was often referred to as a "small car". Bucking the rest of the U.S. auto manufacturers building ever growing cars, Nash sought to offer the American family economical transportation. It was intended to be the second car in a two car family, for Mom to go shopping or for Dad to drive to the train station to head to work.
The Metropolitan presented at auction is a very solid car. Current ownership since 2011, limited restoration history is available. The current owner did replace/correct electrical with repair/correction of lights and blinkers. The interior is new and shows very well.
The in-line 4 cylinder motor runs strong and clutch lines and linkage were recently replaced. With a rebuilt carburetor, this Nash Metropolitan is a good running and driving car.
The small car market is very strong currently and these cars are popular additions to car collections.
