1959 Nash Rambler Metropolitan Convertible

1959 Nash Two Tone / With stainless trim Description

Hello
After 33 years of owning my 1959 Nash Metropolitan Convertible it's time to sadly say good-bye. Having an older restoration with approximately 3,000 miles on it.

• Speedometer has 42,630

I'm sure after viewing all the pictures and reading the details you will agree it to be one of the nicest Metropolitans out there for sale.1959 Was the first year the Metropolitans had wing vent windows,and a rear deck lid.
Listed below are some of the upgrades I have done besides the restoration.

• Seat belts
• Petronix ignition replacement ( eliminating points and condenser )
• Aluminum water pump with sealed bearing
• Smaller steering wheel that was made for the Metropolitan so the original turn signal switch can be used. ( Have original steering wheel with no cracks or chips and painted red that is included with car.)
• Installed new timing cover from another English car that has the rubber seal instead of the felt one that always leaked.
• Converted oil filter to the spin on type.
• Flying lady hood ornament ( Dealer option. )
• Left door mirror ( Dealer option. )
• Air cleaner converted from oil to paper element.
• Replaced 3rd member ( differential ) from 4.22 ratio to a 3.73 ( have original 3rd member 4.22 included with car.)
• Am Fm Cd player
• Halogen head lights.

When the Metropolitan went through a nut and bolt rotisserie restoration, it included

• Engine rebuild.
• Transmission rebuild.
• New front and rear bearings and seals.
• All new hydraulics ( brakes and clutch cylinders, hoses, and steel brake lines.
• Brake and clutch system has Dot 5 silicone brake fluid.
• Front and rear brake shoes, brake lines, brake shoe hardware, and drums resurfaced.
• Gas tank cleaned and coated.
• Radiator recored using original top and bottom tanks.
• Gas shocks front and rear.

The Metropolitan also comes with the original Jack, Tech service manual, illustrated part manual, owner manual and envelope full of part numbers and receipts.
You read and saw all the many positives, But there is only one negative. The pictures ( 3 ) will show where there is some small bubbles. They are ( not soft ! ) I believe they are from the lead that was used to seal where the metal welting joined the rear fenders to the body.
