Used 1955 Hudson Automobile for sale in Laguna Beach, CA

This Metro oozes personality from all sides! It is easy to own and drive. It is completely reliable after a total restoration with just 73 miles on it. It has surprising performance largely due to its low 1500 lbs weight. It shifts easily with a 3 speed column shift and can cruise at 50 mph. The steering is direct and has no wobble or shimmy, braking is straight and predictable. The dash board and gauges are all fully functional. Here is a video test drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUtpLjNCrTI&feature=youtu.be Here is what Wikipedia says about the Metropolitan: "The new Metropolitan was made in two body designs: convertible and hardtop. All came with several standard features that were optional on most cars of the era. Among these factory-installed benefits for customers were a map light, electric windshield wipers, cigar lighter, and even a "continental-type" rear-mounted spare tire with cover. To give a "luxury" image to the interior, "Bedford cord" upholstery trimmed with leather was used (similar to larger Nash vehicles). An AM radio, "Weather Eye" heater, and whitewall tires were offered as optional extras for the U.S. market. (It is unlikely that a Metropolitan could have been purchased without a heater and radio, as all vehicles left the factory with both items fitted.) The Metropolitan was the first postwar American car that was marketed specifically to women.14 #fn14 The Dodge La Femme was introduced one year later. The first spokesperson for the car was Miss America 1954, Evelyn Ay Sempier, and the car was prominently advertised in Women's Wear Daily.14 #fn14 American Motors' marketing brochures described the new model as "America's entirely new kind of car" (1955), "Luxury in Miniature" (1959), and "crafted for personal transportation" (1960)" This car comes with a clean California title and is exempt from smog certification.
