FOR
SALE:
1957 Metropolitan Hardtop
You have located a well-cared for
Metropolitan that shows very well and maintains a great level of originality.
The car has 40, 037 actual miles.
The car is powered by its original
4-cylinder engine that is paired to its original 3-speed manual “long” transmission.
The engine starts with ease and runs great.
The exterior of the car shows well
and it boasts its original colors of Mardi Gras Red and Frost White. The car
has been repainted once since new.
The exterior features numerous new
trim pieces including chrome front and rear bumpers, headlight surrounds, taillight surrounds, body side trim, and side mirrors.
The clean interior of the car
features black and white vinyl as well as black and white cloth. The floor is
covered by plush carpet.
The car rolls smoothly on the
factory wheels that are painted red and are adorned with the original chrome
caps. The wheels are wrapped in Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewalls that were
purchased from Coker Tire. The tires have an abundance of tread life remaining.
The interior of the car features
numerous pieces of original equipment. Nearly every aspect of the car that is
operated from the driver’s seat is fully functional. This includes the
headlights, the steering wheel-mounted turn signal, the running lights, and the
windshield wipers.
The original AM radio remains
present but I have only been able to operate it to produce static.
The original cigarette lighter is
present.
The lockable trunk of the car is
accessed through the rear seat.
The lockable glove compartment is
home to an owner’s manual.
The car runs, rides, and drives
great. It is mechanically sound and a consistent provider of worry-free
enjoyment. As you likely know, Metropolitans are becoming increasingly harder
to find, especially in this condition.
The previous owner owned the car for
22 years. The car is now being offered for sale by me as I continue to
eliminate cars from my collection.
The car carries a clean and clear
title that is ready for transfer.
Interested parties are welcomed to
have the car inspected but all inspections must be completed before the end of
the auction. If you have questions or uncertainties about the car or the
purchase process, please contact me with those questions or uncertainties before
bidding. I can be reached with a call or a text at (270) 748-1882. If I do
not answer, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon as
possible.
The car is located in Henderson, Kentucky, ZIP code: 42420. Henderson, Kentucky is conveniently located
approximately 2 hours north of Nashville, Tennessee, 3 hours south of
Indianapolis, Indiana, 3 hours east of St. Louis, Missouri, and 2 hours west of
Louisville, Kentucky.
The car nor the title will leave my
possession until the full purchase price amount has been received in a
certified payment form. I prefer cash or a wire-transfer but I will
accept a cashier's check if you do not have access to the previous payment
forms. A cashier's check is subject to a 7-day clearance period (my
bank's policy, not mine). If you choose to ship the car, I will
accommodate any shipping arrangements that you may make, but the purchaser will
remain financially responsible for the entire shipping process.
*IF YOU BID ON THE CAR, NO MATTER
THE AMOUNT OF YOUR BID, PLEASE PLAN TO COMPLETE THE TRANSACTION IN THE EVENT
THAT YOUR BID IS THE WINNING BID. A NON-REFUNDABLE $500.00 DEPOSIT MUST
BE RECEIVED BY ME WITHIN 1 DAY (24 HOURS) OF THE AUCTION END UNLESS YOU PAY FOR
THE CAR WITHIN THIS TIME FRAME. THE FULL PURCHASE AMOUNT MUST BE RECEIVED
BY ME WITHIN 4 DAYS (96 HOURS) OF THE AUCTION END. MY RECENT EXPERIENCES WITH
NON-PAYING BIDDERS FORCES ME TO INTEGRATE THIS REQUIREMENT INTO MY LISTING.
THIS LISTING CARRIES A MODEST
RESERVE THAT INVITES SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY!
Again, I can be reached with a call
or a text at (270) 748-1882.
If I do not answer, please leave a message and I will return your call as soon
as possible.
I greatly appreciate your interest
and I look forward to hearing from you!
