Classic Car of the Week: Nash Metropolitan (1953)

My pick of the week is the Nash Metropolitan.

The Nash Metropolitan stands out from its contemporaries for the simple reason that as they worked to build longer and wider models, Nash took the route of marketing a commuter's car. Something more compact and practical for the everyday 'about town' trips. In fact the Metropolitan was soon dubbed the 'World's Smallest Smaller Car'

The decision to discontinue production came at the end of November, followed by a scramble as dealers tried to sell off what remained of their stock.

The Roadmaster shared this feature with the Super, both styled in chrome but the Roadmaster featured four of these portholes on both sides vs the Super's three.
