1959 Nash Metropolitan


from Alex Emond in Saskatchewan: "I was pleasantly surprised to see this little car, parked beside a new house that's going up on the outskirts of Swift Current. I guess the owner is storing it there until he gets the place built. Then it will disappear into the garage. I see that it has a set of brand-new tires on it. Anyway, what a little humbug. Get that puppy restored and out on the road. The thing does have a certain flair and it's almost small enough to make a Shriner jealous.--"AE
(It looks to me like the wheel wells have been cut out, which to my eye makes it a better-looking car than the original bathtub profile of the Metropolitan)--AUTOLITERATE
