Our Take:
- The 1958 Nash Metropolitan is a charming piece of American automotive history, albeit with a British twist. Manufactured by the Austin Motor Company in England, it was branded as a Nash (and later Hudson) for sale in the U.S. It's one of those quirky cross-continental collaborations that still surprises folks today.
- Known for its distinctive compact design, the Metropolitan was among the first "subcompact" cars in the American market. At a time when bigger was often considered better, Nash dared to release this petite vehicle, making it a rare and intriguing find for collectors these days.
- This particular model, a 1958 version, represents one of the few surviving examples from the era where the Metropolitan transitioned from Nash to simply "Metropolitan" under American Motors Corporation (AMC). With only 36,000 miles on the clock, it's seen relatively little road time for its 65+ years. Imagine all the car shows and local parades it could shine in with some TLC.
- The mention of original upholstery and glass suggests a commendable level of authenticity despite the car's age. Such details can really resonate with classic car enthusiasts who appreciate a sense of originality—even with a few wrinkles and cracks that tell its story.
