1960 Nash Metropolitan Fifth Avenue

Vehicle Description 1960 Nash Metropolitan $54,998 INTRODUCTION: Cutest thing on four wheels! This little Nash is an absolute people pleaser- 100% of the people who see it smile! Rotisserie restored as the long lost 5th Avenue Nash, famously used at the New York Auto Show and New York Easter Parade. This car was featured in a Hemmings article, a calendar they are both included along with several manuals and magazines, it has a story as fun as the car itself. And believe it or not, we just purchased it from John Cena! EXTERIOR: You think it's pretty in pictures? Wait until you see it in person! This isn't just pink- it's a stunning pearlescent pink, just like the original Fifth Avenue show car. Metallic and a beautiful pearly sheen come through the clear coat, which has been polished to a smooth, glossy finish. The body was restored and is in excellent shape, it's clean, straight, and fitting together very nicely. The chrome has been restored to a show quality finish, while the long side moldings were professionally straightened and polished. Even the special Fifth Avenue emblems were custom cast specifically for this car. And of course, it's topless just like the original! Out back, the spare tire wears a painted metal cover rather than the typical vinyl cover. The wheels were painted pink to match, dressed up with bright new trim, and wrapped in cute little whitewall tires. INTERIOR: The cuteness level inside absolutely matches the exterior! It features very deluxe two-tone upholstery in pearlescent pink and white, accented with pink buttons and piping. The rear seat even folds open to provide access to the trunk. The deluxe door panels feature chrome trim with the Metropolitan script proudly displayed in the center. The chrome along the tops of the doors and around the inside of the windshield was rechromed, while the entire dash is finished in matching pink. A stereo is concealed inside the glove box with four speakers discreetly hidden throughout the interior. The carpet is exceptionally plush, soft pink and white striped carpeting with matching floor mats. It's very charming! ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Even under the hood, the presentation is exceptional. The engine bay is finished in that same beautiful pearlescent pink, providing a striking backdrop for the detailed four cylinder engine. Even the engine is cute, it is finished in white, which isn't typical and looks attractive against the pink engine bay. The valve cover and air cleaner were show chromed, adding just the right amount of sparkle. All of the surrounding components have been painted, restored and neatly detailed. This isn't just a pretty engine compartment. The previous owners enjoyed the car regularly for several years and said there was never a time when it wouldn't start! TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is every bit as charming as the rest of the car. It's completely lined in the same plush pink and white carpeting, covering the floors, walls, and even the underside of the trunk lid for a beautifully finished, custom appearance. The weatherstripping has also been replaced. The compartment is filled with manuals, literature, pictures of the original Fifth Avenue, and even a calendar featuring this car. It also includes a restored jack, and guess what color it is? That's right: pink! UNDERNEATH: It certainly appears this Metropolitan received a rotisserie restoration. The entire underside is exceptionally clean, with smooth solid metal finished in the same beautiful pink as the body. The chassis and suspension components are neatly detailed in semi-gloss black, while even the fuel tank has been dressed up with a slick, high gloss black finish. The steering, suspension and brakes have been gone through, and the exhaust system was replaced. Looking up at the drivetrain, even the bottom of the four-cylinder engine is clean and detailed, along with the three-speed manual transmission. SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation.

CONCLUSION: You can go buy a Lamborghini, you can buy a Duesenberg. But I'm telling you, this little Metropolitan will put as many smiles on people's faces, and probably more than just about any car out there! It's impossible to drive this car without making people smile, wave, point and take pictures. You can make the world a better place by spreading joy with this little cutie!
