Vehicle Description
This 1956 Nash Metropolitan represents a $19,000 investment in pure
automotive craftsmanship. The dual-tone Sunburst Yellow and
Snowberry White paint makes this compact cruiser impossible to
miss. Classic 1950s design elements define the exterior - bold
tailfins reach for the sky, a distinctive hood ornament leads the
charge, and a continental kit extends the profile. The 13-inch
painted steel wheels showcase period factory hubcaps and roll on
155/80R13 Goodyear tires. Fresh chrome bumpers and trim accentuate
every curve and angle.
The cabin features fresh white vinyl and classic houndstooth fabric
split bench seats. Matching white vinyl adorns the door panels and
kick panels, contrasting with new black carpeting throughout. A
clean black dashboard displays factory gauges and controls. The
three-speed shifter mounts on the steering column, while crisp
white sun visors and headliner round out the cabin's authentic
1950s layout.
The 1500cc inline-four cylinder engine received a full rebuild by
CBA Specialists in Chandler during December 2023. The engine pairs
with a rebuilt three-speed manual transmission that directs power
to the Nash rear axle. Independent front suspension works with the
solid rear axle for balanced handling. Four-wheel manual drum
brakes provide stopping power, while a single exhaust with chrome
tip punctuates the rear.
