Used 1956 Nash Metropolitan for sale in O'Fallon, IL

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this sharp 1956 Nash Metropolitan. You should grab everyone's attention driving down the road in this beauty. This sharp two-toned machine is believed to be powered by a 1,498 cc 4-cylinder engine with a "three-on-the-tree" transmission. The drivetrain is claimed to be numbers matching by the seller. The yellow and white paint still has a shine to it, almost as it is wet. Flowing into the interior with its painted dash and steering wheel but smoothly offset with two toned Black/White vinyl interior. While most U.S. automobile makers were following a "bigger-is-better" philosophy, Nash Motor Company executives were examining the market to offer American buyers an economical transportation alternative. The Metropolitan was designed in the U.S. and it was patterned from a concept car, the NXI (Nash Experimental International), that was built by Detroit-based independent designer William J. Flajole for Nash-Kelvinator. It was designed as the second car in a two-car family, for Mom taking the kids to school or shopping or for Dad to drive to the railroad station to ride to work: the "commuter/shopping car" with resemblance to the big Nash, but the scale was tiny as the Met's wheelbase was shorter than the Volkswagen Beetle's. Do not miss the opportunity to add this little gem into your collection.
