On my way to work I saw...

My dream car, a Nash Metropolitan! They're no longer made, but they sometimes appear at summer car shows in the Chicagoland area. They're little and cute and I think it would be fun to drive one.
What a gorgeous antique car! Great find! Nice photo!

@meeyauw @scatcat @spthorne @honestabe @catsmeowb @maggie2 @chamal @bill_d @whippeteer @buccigrossi @lilithcherry @nonni @5unflow3r @digitalrn -- Thank you SO MUCH! The Nash Metropolitan was sold from 1954 to 1962. It's a two-seater. My mom and dad have a neighbor down the block that has one and I'm hoping he'll let me drive it some day. I saw this one turn into McDonald's parking lot, so I turned in, parked right next to it, pulled the camera from my bag and here it is. :)

what a classic - love old cars

@peterauliciems @jennlouise -- Thank you!

This one had a couple of grocery bags and a backpack on the passenger's seat, and the license plate was the current Illinois design-- which makes me think the owner uses it for everyday transportation on nice days, which Saturday was.

When I was a kid there was one of these on our block.
I think it was an unusual sea shade of green with white like this one.
Maybe I'm thinking of a Renault Dophine. Not sure.
Anyway, they looked captivating even back then (1960's).
My next door neighbor had a Nash Rambler.
The Rambler didn't have the design pa-nosh of the Metro.

Wonderful image. The way you shot this emphasis that it's a petit little car.
May 14th, 2011  
Great shot of this very classy looking car.

Great clours and shape! How old is this car?
