At first glance, the Nash Metropolitan is a cute subcompact car that would be ideal for a weekend cruise. However, the Metropolitan is often used by Hot Rodders to build rocket ships that bang out a gazillion horsepower. If you are a purist who like to appreciate a car for what it was designed to be, this one is for you. What we have for you here is not a hot rod but a refurbished 1957 Nash Metropolitan 1500 Series III, which comes with its own adorable matching trailer. It received a slew of upgrades in 2020, and the custom trailer was built in Michigan around 2018 from a Metropolitan donor car. You can also expect a collection of Nash Gazette car club publications, two Metropolitan caps, and DVD "A Watch-Charm Rolls-Royce: The Story of The Metropolitan." included with the sale of the car. In addition, you get a jack, service manual, and the owner’s manual. Displaying 21,981miles on its odometer (TMU), this Nash Metropolitan awaits in Pennsylvania for its next lucky owner.
