Vehicle Description
The Nash Metropolitan is a neat little piece of automotive history
-- little being the operative word -- it's the first "city car"
designed in the U.S. specifically for the U.S. market. It's the
Smart car of yesteryear but with more substance and style.This
example a 1955 Metropolitan Convertible is very attractive in
spruce green with a tan convertible top. It saw a complete
restoration including engine rebuild in 2012 and has been driven
fewer than 1000 miles since.Lightweight and powered by a 1200 cc
Austin four-cylinder engine fuel economy ranges from 30 to 45 miles
per gallon depending on driving conditions. The engine starts and
runs well and both the clutch and three-speed manual gearbox feel
just as they should. It's fun to drive and it brings a smile to
anyone who sees it passing by.� As small as it is it doesn't feel
cramped inside and it has plenty of storage space behind the rear
seat (the rear seat itself is surprising spacious but when the top
is down it folds into the rear seat area). Original AM radio is
still working.This Met is a great classic to add to any collection
or an easy fun and inexpensive car to break into the hobby --
especially for someone who lives in town and does not want to pilot
a land yacht. Owner's manual and 1955 sales literature included.
