Our Take:
  • The 1960 Nash Metropolitan is one of those quirky classics that always turns heads. Produced during the tail end of Nash's operations before the brand became part of American Motors Corporation (AMC), this charming microcar embodies the optimism of post-war America. Its compact design made it quite the revolutionary choice at a time when "bigger is better" was the automotive mantra.
  • With just 29,100 original miles, this Metropolitan has led a pampered life in sunny Coronado, resisting the rust that so often plagues cars from damper climates. Covering such low mileage mainly on local roads is akin to a leisurely Sunday drive that never really ended—a car's equivalent of retirement in a beachside community.
  • Despite its diminutive size, the Metropolitan packs a historical punch as it was one of the few American cars that was actually built in Europe. Manufactured by Austin in the UK, it was all about mixing a transatlantic blend of style and practicality. Imagine a tiny Austin-Healey Sprite meeting a Chevy Bel Air in a 1950s diner—that's the Met for you.
  • The fact that this is a one-owner car adds a layer of rarity and authenticity to it. Such vehicles often come with stories that metal and paint alone can't tell, like it being originally bought by the owner of El Cordova Garage, which adds a neat local historical twist. Plus, "ran awesome" as the description notes, gives you the confidence that it's not just a showpiece; it's a functional slice of automotive history ready to create new memories for its next caretaker.
