Equipment
Wheel covers, whitewalls, rear-mounted spare, column shift.
Condition
Very good paint other than a few small cracks on the fenders. The convertible top has a few blemishes. The brightwork is very good with slight pitting around the side windows. Panel fit is slightly uneven. The interior is very good other than some paint chips on the steering column. The engine bay is very clean. Underneath is very clean and showing very little wear. A reasonably well restored Metropolitan, but used and enjoyed so not exactly a show car.
Market commentary
A modest but fair price for this late Metropolitan, and a lot of charm per dollar. It sold for $15,950 at Auburn Spring in 2012, then $15,515 at Mecum Indy in 2013 and $15,120 at Mecum Indy in 2015, showing a slow downward spiral that is continuing with this result.
