INTRODUCTION: Cutest thing on four wheels! This little Nash is an
absolute people pleaser- 100% of the people who see it smile!
Rotisserie restored as the long lost 5th Avenue Nash, famously used
at the New York Auto Show and New York Easter Parade. This car was
featured in a Hemmings article, a calendar they are both included
along with several manuals and magazines, it has a story as fun as
the car itself. And believe it or not, we just purchased it from
John Cena!
EXTERIOR: You think it's pretty in pictures? Wait until you see it
in person! This isn't just pink- it's a stunning pearlescent pink,
just like the original Fifth Avenue show car. Metallic and a
beautiful pearly sheen come through the clear coat, which has been
polished to a smooth, glossy finish. The body was restored and is
in excellent shape, it's clean, straight, and fitting together very
nicely. The chrome has been restored to a show quality finish,
while the long side moldings were professionally straightened and
polished. Even the special Fifth Avenue emblems were custom cast
specifically for this car. And of course, it's topless just like
the original! Out back, the spare tire wears a painted metal cover
rather than the typical vinyl cover. The wheels were painted pink
to match, dressed up with bright new trim, and wrapped in cute
little whitewall tires.
INTERIOR: The cuteness level inside absolutely matches the
exterior! It features very deluxe two-tone upholstery in
pearlescent pink and white, accented with pink buttons and piping.
The rear seat even folds open to provide access to the trunk. The
deluxe door panels feature chrome trim with the Metropolitan script
proudly displayed in the center. The chrome along the tops of the
doors and around the inside of the windshield was rechromed, while
the entire dash is finished in matching pink. A stereo is concealed
inside the glove box with four speakers discreetly hidden
throughout the interior. The carpet is exceptionally plush, soft
pink and white striped carpeting with matching floor mats. It's
very charming!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Even under the hood, the presentation is
exceptional. The engine bay is finished in that same beautiful
pearlescent pink, providing a striking backdrop for the detailed
four cylinder engine. Even the engine is cute, it is finished in
white, which isn't typical and looks attractive against the pink
engine bay. The valve cover and air cleaner were show chromed,
adding just the right amount of sparkle. All of the surrounding
components have been painted, restored and neatly detailed. This
isn't just a pretty engine compartment. The previous owners enjoyed
the car regularly for several years and said there was never a time
when it wouldn't start!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is every bit as charming as the rest
of the car. It's completely lined in the same plush pink and white
carpeting, covering the floors, walls, and even the underside of
the trunk lid for a beautifully finished, custom appearance. The
weatherstripping has also been replaced. The compartment is filled
with manuals, literature, pictures of the original Fifth Avenue,
and even a calendar featuring this car. It also includes a restored
jack, and guess what color it is? That's right: pink!
UNDERNEATH: It certainly appears this Metropolitan received a
rotisserie restoration. The entire underside is exceptionally
clean, with smooth solid metal finished in the same beautiful pink
as the body. The chassis and suspension components are neatly
detailed in semi-gloss black, while even the fuel tank has been
dressed up with a slick, high gloss black finish. The steering,
suspension and brakes have been gone through, and the exhaust
system was replaced. Looking up at the drivetrain, even the bottom
of the four-cylinder engine is clean and detailed, along with the
three-speed manual transmission.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every
vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected,
test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for
sale.
CONCLUSION: You can go buy a Lamborghini, you can buy a Duesenberg.
But I'm telling you, this little Metropolitan will put as many
smiles on people's faces, and probably more than just about any car
out there! It's impossible to drive this car without making people
smile, wave, point and take pictures. You can make the world a
better place by spreading joy with this little cutie!
