The announcement introduces a 1957 Nash Metropolitan Hardtop, finished in Sunburst Yellow and Snowberry White, that has been added to The Ron Sturgeon Collection at the DFW Car & Toy Museum.
This Metropolitan is a survivor owned by the same individual for nearly 40 years, underwent a careful refurbishment in the 1990s to restore its original two-tone factory colors and period-correct black and white houndstooth cloth and vinyl interior, and is in well-preserved condition, which is increasingly rare.
The Metropolitan is powered by a 1.5-liter Austin B-Series inline-four engine with a single Zenith downdraft carburetor, delivering 52 horsepower and 77 lb-ft of torque, paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
The Metropolitan made a big splash in the 1950s as it was marketed as a second car for suburban families and became one of the earliest American-designed cars built in Europe (by Austin in the UK) and sold in the United States.
Ron Sturgeon is the owner of the DFW Car & Toy Museum, a dedicated car collector for over 30 years, and the visionary behind the museum; this 1957 Nash Metropolitan is now part of The Ron Sturgeon Collection at his museum.
The museum is located at 2550 McMillan Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76137 (at Meacham and I35w in North Fort Worth), and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
