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!
