This 1956 Nash Metropolitan represents a $19,000 investment in pure automotive craftsmanship. The dual-tone Sunburst Yellow and Snowberry White paint makes this compact cruiser impossible to miss. Classic 1950s design elements define the exterior - bold tailfins reach for the sky, a distinctive hood ornament leads the charge, and a continental kit extends the profile. The 13-inch painted steel wheels showcase period factory hubcaps and roll on 155/80R13 Goodyear tires. Fresh chrome bumpers and trim accentuate every curve and angle.
The cabin features fresh white vinyl and classic houndstooth fabric split bench seats. Matching white vinyl adorns the door panels and kick panels, contrasting with new black carpeting throughout. A clean black dashboard displays factory gauges and controls. The three-speed shifter mounts on the steering column, while crisp white sun visors and headliner round out the cabin's authentic 1950s layout.
The 1500cc inline-four cylinder engine received a full rebuild by CBA Specialists in Chandler during December 2023. The engine pairs with a rebuilt three-speed manual transmission that directs power to the Nash rear axle. Independent front suspension works with the solid rear axle for balanced handling. Four-wheel manual drum brakes provide stopping power, while a single exhaust with chrome tip punctuates the rear.
