Pastor,
Love the car, and the fact that it was a present, too!! I've always liked the old Metropolitan's, but never really new the Nash/Hudson/AMC story before today. I ran across a guy not too far from me that has several Metro's that he's willing to part with, but not sure how much he values them....Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thanks for the history! Never knew any of that...thought they were just a one time idea from Nash and were only around a couple years... So anyway, the upside down bathtub Ambassador is on my things I'd like to take a shot at building some day list...probably after the 10 or 12 others I want to get done prior to doing that one!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Very cool present. Those cars just are so unique, they always turn your head when you see one." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Congrats! Always a favorite of mine. We had one that raced Altered classes in Illinois. It had a Max Wedge, and the front axle was out in front of the car!!!
Yours looks good. Even Lois lane and Jimmy Olson would be proud to drive that one! :-)~
In our neighborhood, 2 blocks down the hill was a gas station that (to me) all the cool car guys hung out there. 32 coupes, 33 & 34 Fords as well, a sweet 56 Ford Beach wagon that was setup gasser...
How did you get hooked on cars?
