Vehicle Description
1960 NASH METROPOLITAN COUPE C-1003 This 1960 Metropolitan coupe is
like none other you have ever seen. Produced in December 1959 and
is finished in white over red exterior and aftermarket interior
bucket seats covering of black and red. Power is provided by a
1500cc high compression inline four cylinder paired to a 3 speed
manual transmission. Extensive custom touches include a full array
of aftermarket gauges fitted into a fabricated aluminum panel and
speedometer bezel. The aluminum continues on the door panels and
sill plate covering. Mounted under the dash is a remote-controlled
stereo unit with FM/USB/SD/MMCMP3/WMA paired with rear speakers.
Custom monogrammed floor mats and cup holders dress the interior.
The" trunk" is finished matching the interior. The car is fitted
with a continental kit trimmed in chrome. All chrome, exterior and
interior finishes and all glass are excellent. Proudly maintained
by the previous owner, the Metropolitan is offered with a clean
California title. The Nash Metropolitan is an American automobile
assembled in England and marketed from 1953 until 1962. It conforms
to two classes of vehicle: economy car and subcompact car. The
Metropolitan is considered a "subcompact", but this category was
not yet in use when the car was made. At that time, it was
categorized as a "small automobile" as well as an "economy car".
The Metropolitan "was a car that appealed to an eclectic mix of
Americans" because it was "economical, yet a joy to drive," and it
has been described as "pure automotive whimsy." It also "swam
against nearly every current of American car design." Production
ceased in April 1961 (final VIN - E95981, built 19 April 1961).
Sales of the existing inventory continued until March 1962.
Approximately 95,000 Metropolitans were sold in the United States
and Canada, making it one of the top-selling cars to be imported
into those countries at the time, and its sales in 1959 helped to
spur the introduction of the Big Three (General Motors, Ford, and
Chrysler) new compact models. ***If you are viewing this on
