Nash Metropolitan

I have to laugh every time I see the items with a Metro hitched to a Trailer. In truth the Metro couldn't tow much more than a baby carriage.

I owned a brand new Metro in about 1954. The engine was the same as the MG of the period, but detuned by replacing the MG's dual SU carbs with a simple downdraft carb.

We made the round trip from Texas to Pennsylvania with a new baby. With that Metro loaded down with our stuff, it was second gear up the steeper hills. In 1956, the Metro got traded for a new 1955 Studebaker Coupe.
