Vehicle Description
Up for sale in the Houston showroom is the original micro car, the
1960 Nash Metropolitan. The Nash Metropolitan is an automobile that
was sold from 1953 to 1961. It conforms to two classes of vehicle:
economy car and subcompact car. In today's terminology the
Metropolitan would be called a subcompact; but this category had
not yet come into use when the car was made. At that time, it was
variously categorized as a "small automobile", or as an "economy
car". The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and
Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation
(AMC); and later, as a standalone marque during the Rambler years,
which it was known as when sold in the United Kingdom and other
markets. 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's (General Motors,
Ford, and Chrysler) new compact models. Powered by a 55hp 1500cc
engine and backed by a 3 speed manual transmission you could say,
she's pretty spry. Options include: Vinyl seats, seat belts,
numbers matching and steel wheels wrapped in radial tires. For more
