Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Column shift 3 speed, body color steel wheels with chrome hub caps and trim rings, narrow whitewalls, fender skirts, bench seat, rear mounted spare wheel with white vinyl cover, radio.

Condition

Restored five years ago Clean engine bay Good, presentable interior, but the paint looks a lot older than five years and has microblisters along the rockers and several sizable dings on the right rear fender Dull chrome Big dent in the left front fender Clearly used a lot since restoration Its not an eyesore, but its nothing more than a casual driver

Market commentary

By 1957, the Metropolitan had dropped the Nash name and was sold just as a Metropolitan, and a 1500 cc BMC B Series engine had replaced the 1200 cc A Series unit. These are worth less than the earlier Nash badged cars, and the price paid for this decent driver quality example was all the cars condition could bear.
