Nash Metropolitan
Conceived by Nash-Kelvinator president George Mason, the Metropolitan was designed to fill a niche for economical, city-sized transportation in America. Built by Austin in England, it featured charming styling with standard two-tone paint and chrome accents. Despite modest performance from its 1200cc Austin engine, the Metropolitan gained a devoted following for its economy, maneuverability, and unique character, becoming an icon of 1950s American optimism.
