1960 Nash Metropolitan Rambler Fully Restored! 500 miles on New Engine!

Info via Wikipedia:

The Nash Metropolitan is a car that was sold. initially. only in the United States and Canada from 1954–1962. It conforms to two classes of vehicle: economy car and subcompact car.  In today's terminology the Metropolitan is a “subcompact”. but this category had not yet come into use when the car was made At that time. it was variously categorized. for example as a "small automobile" as well as an "economy car".

January 1959 saw the start of Metropolitan Series IV (NK4) production (Commencing with VIN E59048 on 12 January 1959). This major re-design saw the addition of an external deck lid (previous models only allowed access to the trunk through the rear seat back) and vent windows. By this time. the engine had been up-graded by increasing the compression ratio from 7. 2:1 to 8. 3:1 (Commenced VIN E43116 — October 15. 1957) giving an output of 55 bhp (41 kW) (as used in the Austin A55 Cambridge). The additional features added 15 lb (6. 8 kg) to the weight.  

The "Metropolitan's staying power and its never-ending cuteness" have earned it "a place among the Greatest Cars of All Time" in the opinion of automotive writer Jack Nerad. a former editor of Motor Trend magazine: "No. the Metropolitan didn't come from a top-of-the-line manufacturer. No. it doesn't have a proud racing history. And. no. it wasn't built in huge numbers. But [it] possesses an ageless. cuddly quality that has made it a perennial favorite of car lovers and car agnostics alike. "
