Overview of 1961 Nash Metropolitan Custom Build For Sale by Owner

The Nash Metropolitan is a subcompact car built by Nash Motors Company from 1953 until 1961. According to former editor of Motor Trend magazine Jack Nerad “the Metropolitan's staying power and its never-ending cuteness earned it a place among the Greatest Cars of All Time”. Although the Metropolitan is clearly a little and adorable car, people who build hardcore street shakers seem to love choosing it for strap mighty engines. To be fair, it carries a sense of amusement when a car such as the Nash Metropolitan demolishes a modern aggressive drag car. This 1961 Nash Metropolitan is one such custom build car, which generates wicked power thorough a robust Chevrolet big block engine. It's a fantastic example of heaps of horsepower operating in harmony with excellent handling. Located in Pennsylvania, this dainty, scaled and balanced custom-built pro streetcar awaits its next lucky buyer.
