That little yellow and white Nash Metropolitan was just immaculate. Strange looking car though! Did the Yanks really make these? Looks a bit more like an old eastern European car from the 60s or 70's.:(

Yep , really made em, but built in Europe for the US market & had an Austin A40 engine.

Some info here....

0-60 mph in 19.3 seconds.... ;x but as it had an A40 engine, probably would not be able to pull a greasy stick out of a dog's "a" :w

Watched a few run at Bonneville last year, some got over 90mph. Quite funny after watching a 3-350mph pass before them.

Great day out!
