That's a car I'd not heard of. It is an interesting one. Thanks for sharing.

Very unique design! The front bumper looks like it may be able to push an old guy with a walker out of the cross walk.

This a one-off car. The designer, Bill Flajole, had a storied career in Detroit. He went to work right out of high school for Chrysler. He also did design work for Ford and GM. Nash borrowed him to help them get back in the mainstream of things. He designed the Nash Metropolitan for them.

Great looking car.
His use of the cove treatment on the sides swayed Chevy to use them on the Corvette. The frame, engine, and drivetrain were adapted from the Jaguar XK 120.
