1956 Nash
Metropolitan
2 dr Hardtop
We just sold a 1960 Nash, this one is very similar to the
other one, and in a few ways I believe nicer.
Older model, original color with 1 repaint.
Same owner again for the last 35 plus yrs.

These cars are FUN ! Unique ~! and getting more rare all the time!
easily pushing their values up every yr and make great investments.
At any car show or trip to the store, they draw a crowd from all
ages for so many awesome reasons ! Pretty sure PeeWee Herman drove
1 in his first movie too.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
1956 Nash Metropolitan - its been in the desert area (Arizona)
as far back as we can track. Minimal rust if any on the car.
For a car this old almost unheard of around most of the country
(Not here in Tucson)The previous owner had restored it many
yrs ago, but now hewas getting too old to work on it, it started needing
work to the brake system, rubber lines etc, so it was parked
inside a metal barn here in Tucson. The car has had 1 repaint
of the original color combo to our knowledge about 20 yrs ago.
Chrome is in decent shape for its
age.Stainless in very good shape. The car did get a partial resto
over the yrs, including some interior, things under the hood as needed.
The floors, rockers, trunk etc are very solid and original. It
looks great in person and the pics, and it is. Its just not finished
but was dont nice enough at the time to be a driver back in 2012.
The only rust we could find was the pass side front floorboard
has a hole, from the inside out. Its about the size of my fist.
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people
who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules.
So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to
make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid.
Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!!
These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition
that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: the last owner drove it from time to time
but again, it started to need some work to the brakes,
which is why it was parked. We put in a battery, cleaned the
points, poured a little gas down the carb, cranked it a few times
and it fired right up and ran for about 15 seconds fine.
Seems like the fuel pump is bad.
My guess is new master and rubber lines for starters.
We put a battery in it, cranked it a few times and it fired right up !
Runs and sounds good too. Ive not driven it because I need to bleed
the clutch system..
Transmission and clutch are fine.
Fix the brakes some and its on the way to being a daily driver again
Or car show fun. Would be a safe bet to flush the whole brake system
while doing the new rubber parts of course when you do it.
INTERIOR: take a look at the pics, the interior looks very nice for a
daily. Its not fully restored, and needs some finishing, things like
missing weatherstrippinginstalled around the doors etc. carpet maybe, tighten up the door
panels etc.Factory AM radio I think
still works, but the speaker I believe is bad now. It is a great start and
Wouldnt take much to be truly finished.Dont think the cars ever seen salt or
snow. Dash and chrome in very nice shape for their age. All the glass is good too.
1956 had some cool features the newer models didnt have.
EXTERIOR:the body pretty straight for its age, and paint about 20 yrs
old, but its been in a garage most of its life. Bumpers are in really nice shape as
is most all the bright work around the car. The body itself is in really
nice shape for its age too, and to our knowledge and past owners the
cars never been in any bad accidents. Super solid rockers, quarters etc.
Check out the pics.
Stainless trim looks very complete and in amazing shape.
Nothing major. Overall the body is in very nice shape we think. It gets
alot of attention just as is. With some attention to the paint, it could
look even more amazing.
SUSPENSION:the suspension looks normal from what I can see .. but older.
Works okay as is, but Im sure will need minor repairs in time due to its age.
Nothing major to report being broken or worn out. Tires are in nice shape,
they are about 10 yrs old or so, but for in town driving probably fine.
These cars ride very smooth for their size and age and handle pretty well
due to their size etc.
Mostly just suface rust under the car, making taking this car apart, almost a breeze !!

If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they
are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance.
With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect
until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER
