Description:

Thanks for stopping by to take a look at our very cool 1959 Metropolitan She is also referred to as a Nash, Hudson or AMC depending on who owned what and when. This is the one you want in the right color, that is ready to drive and show. She’s not concours but unlike the perfect cars, you can park her and walk away for a bit too.
Very well cared for in a stable of fine collectible cars here in Orange County California.
Rarity
Thousands were produced yet relatively few remain in the wild today. Our research shows a few dozen cars available worldwide, most in either dire shape from rust and neglect or rarely touched show queens.
Exterior
Factory correct to this car, the Blue and White paint is gorgeous. This is older paintwork and there are some flaws and wear noticeable upon close inspection. See the photos. The Chrome and stainless trim is in overall good to excellent condition. Hudson grille ornament is incorrect for this year but looks cool. Nice accents and most importantly, a complete car.
Interior
Nice interior upholstery, dash, headliner and door panels in this older restoration. No rips or tears.
Wheels, Tires
13” steel wheels have been restored and five new whitewall radial tires have been added. Monogram hubcaps are nice.

Trim
The trim is in good to excellent shape. See pics and video.
Glass
The glass is in good to excellent condition. The windshield is new. OEM one piece rear glass still intact.
Odometer
The odometer shows 86719 miles.
DMV / Documentation

Comparables
There are a nice variety of Metro’s available at any given time. Perhaps 20 to choose from in various stages of wear. Basket cases are expensive to restore and fully restored show cars often are relegated to artwork status, and dried rubber parts given their level of perfection. This Metro is a nice driver quality car that has been serviced and maintained. Given the scarcity of available cars in this condition, this Metropolitan represents an outstanding value that can be enjoyed immediately as well as being an appreciating investment in automotive art.
Had one of these back in the day? Yep, they were around everywhere and on the heels of the Volkswagen Beetle and now you hardly see one. This Metro puts you back in 1959 with all the look and feel of motoring in an icon of the era. The feel and sound of this Metropolitan will melt the years away at the first turn of her key.
Please come inspect this great Metro before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. Please keep in mind that this is a used car. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that’s what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car.
