1961 AMC METROPOLITAN CONVERTIBLE
Nash worked for many years on a subcompact car. smaller than its popular Rambler.
Like the Mini and Fiat 500. the Metropolitan was not marked as an economy car the size was also seen as a way to compete in Europe. where traditional American cars were rapidly dying out because of their size.
Austin built the Nash Metropolitan cars under contract (using Fisher & Ludlow bodies) in Longbridge. England. starting in 1954. shipping it to the United States. the land of its birth.
American Motors created a second generation. the 1500. in 1956 it used a 1. 5 liter Austin B-series engine. with a higher 8. 3:1 compression. resulting in 52 hp and a claimed “up to 40 miles per gallon. ” The suspension was also changed. with longer. outward-braced diagonally placed springs. which Nash claimed both reduced body roll and absorbed road shocks far better than conventional springs.
The underhood changes were matched by a new hood with a new mesh grille a stainless-steel side strip separating the two colors a revised interior. and a black dashboard.
Floyd Clymer was able to get a 1957 Metropolitan up Pikes Peak which indicates some power reserve. and famed reviewed Tom Mc Cahill wrote that it was “a fleet. sporty little bucket. rdquo also showing an improvement over the slow original.
Gas mileage was tested by Motor Trend at around 30 mpg in traffic. and 27 mpg at a steady 60 mph cornering. steering and general feel were highly rated.
In 1959. Metropolitan became its own make. and was given a glove box door. seat adjusters. and window vents.
The last Metropolitans stepped up to a 55-horsepoower A-55 Austin engine.
This Magnificent Example is finished in Stunning Mardi Gras Red over Frost White with White Convertible Top & Boot with contrasting Black & White Diamond Delux Interior.
It is a fully documented “Black Plate” California Estate Classic that underwent a Total Professional Restoration exceeding $30. 00. including Exterior. Interior. Brightwork. Top. & Mechanics.
