1954 Nash Metropolitan Navigation
The Nash Metropolitan is one of those vehicles that has a cult following. It was a smaller, less expensive compact car aimed squarely for the second-car market, with the belief that families would want a smaller, less expensive car to complement their primary vehicle. This was the first mass-produced subcompact car and the first car marketed to and sold in the United States while being entirely machined and assembled overseas.
This model has been given a full restoration since new. It is painted in Spruce Green and has a white roof and powered by a 1,200cc four-cylinder engine that is mated to a three-speed transmission operated from a column shift.
In 2009, this Nash Metropolitan was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was expected to sell for $20,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve. The lot was sold for a high bid of $19,800 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
