1961 Nash Metropolitan

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to bring to market this fun little 1961 Nash Metropolitan Convertible for your consideration. The Metropolitan has a very interesting history in its 8year cycle of being produced and sold thru multiple businesses and dealers in North America and Europe. The car was designed to appeal to the family as a 2nd car that allowed quick trips to the store or train station when the whole family wasn't being part of the trip. Room for two very comfortably and in a pinch the back seat could accommodate a couple of small children or additional luggage or cargo.

The Nash offered here is powered by its 4 cylinder engine paired to a manual transmission. It rides on 13 inch wheels and has a rear mounted spare tire. The body shows some age but is still very presentable and the chrome polishes to a shine.

The Nash Metropolitan was an American automobile that was sold from 1953 to 1961. The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets. January 1959 saw the start of Metropolitan Series IV (NK4) production. This major redesign saw the addition of an external decklidand vent windows. By this time, the engine had been upgraded by increasing the compression ratio from 7.2:1 to 8.3:1 giving an output of 55 bhp.
