Description

"It conforms to two classes of vehicle: economy car and subcompact car. In today’s terminology the Metropolitan is a “subcompact”, but this category had not yet come into use when the car was made. At that time, it was variously categorized, for example as a "small automobile" as well as an "economy car".

The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets."


What an odd looking car! Looks like something out of Cars and appears somewhat small. But I think it's pretty neat!

These cars got 35mpg back in a time when most cars got around 10mpg. And the enclosed wheel wells actually made them more aerodynamic
