1961 Nash Metropolitan

This 1961 Nash Metropolitan Series IV is a charming little coup that\'s ready to cruise the streets with its iconic two-tone black and white color scheme. The Frost White roof and Black lower body are divided by a full-length stainless steel side molding, a hallmark of the later Series III and IV models. Rolling on a set of 13\" wheels wrapped in 155/80R13 radial tires, this Metropolitan has a stance that\'s both cute and confident.

Step inside the cozy cabin, and you\'re greeted by a black and white vinyl and cloth interior that\'s a perfect match for the exterior. The bucket seats are comfortable, and the dash-mounted shifter for the 3-speed manual transmission adds a touch of sportiness. The black diamond pattern upholstery with white trim is believed to be original and still presents well, with only minor signs of age. The Smiths speedometer, a nod to the car\'s British origins, takes center stage on the dash.

At the heart of this Metropolitan beats a peppy 1500cc inline-4 engine, fed by a single barrel carburetor. While the engine is a Series III unit it\'s been transplanted into this Series IV chassis, making for an interesting blend of Metropolitan history under the hood. The engine pairs with a 3-speed manual transmission to deliver a driving experience that\'s both engaging and economical. The car features drum brakes on all four corners, with coil springs and shocks up front and leaf springs with shocks in the rear. An aftermarket muffler adds a touch of character to the exhaust note.
