A friend of mine rolled his mom's convertible metro 3 times, bent some wheels, tore the top, but the car was only deeply scratched, doors opened fine, didn't even crack the windshield! One tough little car!

41 mpg in 1954!!! Where did we go wrong?
@nlpnt9 ай бұрын
There was no standard test protocol, so that means it can be hypermiled to 41 mpg, or at best that's a steady 45-50 mph figure. Since its' introduction in the '70s the EPA highway gas mileage test has been revised to give "more realistic" (read:lower) numbers twice - in 1985 with a mathematical formula and in 2008 by stipulating the test be run with a/c on and at a higher speed than had been feasible on a dyno when the original test protocol was drawn up.

@wickiezulu3 жыл бұрын
Know the Metropolitan shared much with the Austin A40, yet did it extend as far as basically using a short-wheelbase version of the (1954-1958 A40 to A55) Cambridge platform given both feature the same width and appeared around the same year? Also heard the Metropolitan made use of mechanicals from the smaller Austin A30, yet find that tough to believe.

Where did you start from and where did you go? It looks like either Southern California or perhaps Northern California, starting in Sacramento driving up 80 or 50 into the Sierra foothills. No big deal, just curious to see if I recognize the landscape.

I have to say, the Metropolitan was a great car as our neighbor had a 1959 model and I rode with him to the store on many occasions. At the same time, my mom had a 1959 Ford Skyliner with the biggest 352 engine and 300 HP. There was no comparison as far as performance went but Gunney's Metropolitan was fun to ride in and was really pretty peppy. His had a three speed manual, radio, and heater. I can remember him telling me he got between 30 and 35 miles per gallon but then gasoline prices were not an issue then. The last time I saw Gunney, he was still driving his Metropolitan daily to work. His wife drove an Ambassador wagon which they traded in every few years until 1970. He always took care of that car. He changed the oil every month as I would sometimes go with him to the Rambler dealer in town. Who knows, maybe somebody in the Metropolitan auto club is driving it still....

I really like the old liveries from the 50s with two two paintwork Anne non of this metallic finish today. The Nash reminds of the British Ford Consul of the era. Can't help thinking it's looks like the children of the 57 chev

Very convincing sales pitch , so why did American motors only build 100000 of these little gems? Maybe because they only cost 50.00 less than a Rambler! O ya don’t plan on taking your family of 6 on vacation in it!

I like the club and I really like the green color on the Nash convertible in the interview. I am confused as to the correct color and paint code for the car. The color looks like,1958 year 906 -croton green r2 There appears to also be a 1958 906 croton green that is much more yellow. Is there anyone that can tell me what the exact color of this car is? Thanks PatrickB...
@NashMetropolitans7 жыл бұрын
The color is suppose to be Croton Green. Only approx. 1150 1954's were painted this color. The color on this car is off a bit.
