Description:

1962 Nash Metropolitan Convertible
This is a 100% nut and bolt restoration with modern amenities on a 1962 Nash Metropolitan convertible. This is a fairly rare car as only 82 convertibles were built in 1962, the last year of Metropolitan production.
The restoration and modifications were done by Bob’s Toys, one of the premier restoration shops on the West Coast. The goal was to build a Metropolitan that could win on the show circuit and also be driven comfortably on modern roads, on tours, and to cruise-ins and car shows.
The car has been shown twice, winning first in class at the Forest Grove Concours d’Elegance Classic Car Show and first in class at the Portland Rod & Custom Show. It drives beautifully with absolutely no issues and can be driven enjoyed at highway speeds.
As you can see from the pictures the car looks like a stock Metropolitan from the outside. All the modifications from stock are in the driveline and the interior and include:
Completely re-built Datsun B210 engine; 77 cubic inches, 75 horsepower (original engine had 52 HP)
Weber carburetor
Electric fuel pump
Nissan automatic transmission
Custom driveshaft
Original column mounted shift linkage modified to work with automatic transmission
Dual master brake cylinders
New exhaust system
All new wiring
5 BF Goodrich T/A radial tires
All interior metal changed from stock black to match the same turquoise color as outside of car
Custom interior installed
Seat belts
Custom smaller diameter steering wheel
Restoration included:
All mechanical components rebuilt or replaced with new parts
All electrical components work correctly including lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, and gauges
The original AM radio was rebuilt and works
New windshield
Heater completely re-built and works
New convertible top, boot, and spare tire cover
All rubber replaced
All of the chrome was replaced or re-chromed including the great hood ornament!
Entire car was Media blasted and painted with base coat, clear coat
There are no issues with this car and nothing that needs to be done to it. This is a car that you can comfortably drive anywhere or take to cruise-ins or judged car shows where you will always be the center of attention and always come away with a trophy. This Metropolitan just makes people smile!
