 DESCRIPTION

Very rare and collectible, the Nash Metropolitan by Tootsietoy is a real charmer. The actual car was not much bigger, and was offered by both Nash and Hudson. This is an early Metropolitan (1953-54), the hood scoop is the clue. The example here is in mint condition with white rubber tires and plastic-sleaved axels. It is remarkably well-detailed with an accurate dash and steering wheel. A must for any Metropolitan owner or Nash/American Motors collector, it is almost impossible to find in this condition.
