For Sale: 1960 Nash Metropolitan in Concord, North Carolina

Vehicle Description

The signature Frost White and Berkshire Green two-tone color scheme on this 1960 Nash Metropolitan Series IV Convertible makes it instantly recognizable from blocks away. Ask any car guy - when you spot these two colors divided along the body line, you know exactly what you're looking at without needing a badge. Series IV Metropolitans added a unique feature in the model's production run - exterior trunk access for actual usable storage. The glossy finish looks sharp from every angle, paired with 13" steel wheels, factory hubcaps and whitewall 5.60-13 tires for that authentic 1960s look. Drop the white canvas top, and this compact classic becomes the perfect fair-weather cruiser for weekend drives.

The dual-tone black and white interior offers straightforward function with just enough flash. The split bench seat combines vinyl and cloth materials for durability and comfort during extended drives. Gray diamond fabric with black and white vinyl trim adorns key surfaces, while the factory gauge face displays essential information with crystal clarity. The floor-mounted shifter gives direct control over gear selection. Black painted dash and door tops create a unified look that ties the cabin together without unnecessary complexity.

Mounted up front, the 1.5L inline-4 engine (15F-N-H 20154) generates zippy power for around-town use. A modern 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission replaces the original unit, allowing for longer highway jaunts with lower RPMs. The single-barrel carburetor mixes fuel and air efficiently while the stock-style manifold and factory-type muffler with single exhaust maintain original appearances. Mechanical drum brakes handle stopping duties admirably. For suspension, coil springs up front and leaf springs in back give this lightweight runabout steady handling through corners.
