1962 Nash Metropolitan: Regular Car Reviews

Опубликовано 17 февраля 2025, 11:01

For the first time in the history of RCR, we've found a car that we literally cannot drive. But the 1962 Nash Metropolitan is still getting the Race to the Bottom treatment, as Roman goes in-depth on the history of America's first subcompact, and the unusual promotional strategy of the company behind it. Is the Nash Metropolitan one of the forgotten gems of automotive history, or rightly lost to the ages? How did the Nash Metropolitan influence the automotive industry in the decades that followed? And what can this car tell us about ourselves?
