The Nash Metropolitan was the first car designed by an American company and manufactured overseas for the United States. The Metropolitan sales were counted against England's war debt to the United States.
These vehicles were small and efficient with proportions that were distinctly un-American - in comparison to vehicles being offered by the Big Three at the time. The Metropolitan offered a soft and luxurious ride, and the interior was well appointed, and offered a number of conveniences including an AM radio and windshield wipers.
This example is finished in Caribbean Blue over a black and white houndstooth interior. It has spent much of its life in rural Illinois. It has been treated to a ground-up restoration including a full engine rebuild, and it was given a new top and a new interior. The engine is a 1489cc four-cylinder engine offering 50 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2015
