Nash Metropolitan


I guess in the ranks of cars designed by pubic polls, this one was more successful than the Edsel...

In the photograph with Mr. Mason at the wheel: Is that really his mouth? Could he be singing? Going through the motions as he dreams of biting someone? Trying to crack a Brazil nut without the aid of a Squirrel (see p.i.f. entry of 2 September, below)? I'd want some answers before I bought stock in his company.

Kid down the road from me had a Metropolitan. This was in 1965 or so. It had neither engine nor wheels. He used to sit at the controls while his fun-loving uncles got their shoulders under the Nash's axles and trotted down to the crossroads store on beer runs. I loved his sister and envied his whole life.

Reminds me of my grandfather and great uncle Nate sitting on the front porch...
