1957 Nash Metropolitan Hardtop

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced in the mid-1950s as a collaboration between Nash and Austin, the Metropolitan offered a compact, stylish alternative to full-size American cars. Built in England and sold in the United States, it became known for its distinctive two-tone paint, simple mechanicals, and city-friendly size. Today, these classic compacts are appreciated for their undeniable charm.

This 1957 Nash Metropolitan Hardtop is finished in Berkshire Green and Frost White over a houndstooth interior. Power comes from a 1.5-liter inline-four engine paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Various electric components and the wiper motor are said to have been repaired, while the fuel system has been serviced.
