1957 Nash Metropolitan

The 1957 Nash Metropolitan design year saw a few changes over the previous model years.
These changes included the Metropolitan's B-Series engine increased in capacity to 1,498 cc, thus renamed to the Metropolitan 1500 Series, dropping the Nash nameplate and adding a simple M logo to the front grill.
Polished stainless steel sweep-spears on the body sides allowed a new two-tone finish to be incorporated, which had the cosmetic effect of lowering, slimming and lengthening the car.
The grille was also redesigned, and the hood had its non-functional hood scoop removed.
The interior was also changed to incorporate a "houndstooth" check material for the seats trimmed with white vinyl.
The dashboard was also now painted black, rather than the body color as was the case for Series I and II Metropolitans.
The MSRP for Series III models was $1,527 (Hardtop) and $1,551 (Convertible).
Production for the United States in 1957 topped at 13,425 total units.
This 1957 Metropolitan, with only two previous owners and with what is believed to be less than 21,000 original miles
