1961 Nash Metropolitan Couch
While most domestic automobile makers were following a "bigger-is-better" philosophy, Nash Motor Company executives were examining the market to offer American buyers an economical transportation alternative. The Metropolitan was designed in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It was patterned from a concept car, the NXI, (Nash Experimental International), that was built by Detroit-based independent designer William J. Flajole for Nash-Kelvinator.
As we say, and have said many times here at Classic Auto Mall, one NEVER knows what's coming through the door and this consignment proves that to the teeth. We give you a 1961 Nash Metropolitan couch, which is the ultimate Man/Woman cave accessory to relax on and watch the Nascar or F1 race on the big screen which resides in your garage with your car collection. Or in your living room as the ultimate conversation piece, I can tell you for sure you WILL be the only one that has one!
NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY
Destined for the crusher, this 61 Metropolitan became the brainchild of a creative automotive man who conjured up the idea to have the ultimate conversation piece. The front of the car was demolished while the Continental rear of the sub compact remained intact. Work began by trimming any excess material and fashioning a larger rear seat than the factory stock rear seat. It is covered in marine grade vinyl which is white and surrounded by Redline, (red), painted steel from the original car, very apropos for the early 1960's. The wheel wells are the armrests and the couch/rear of the car, swivels on long posted lockable casters on the back and padded feet to level itself on virtually any surface in front.
In the trunk, which now has become a stainless steel lined drink cooler, has a 2 inch thick high R value insulation within its confines. There is a drain plug to rid the cooler of excess water. Interior trunk lighting as well as the tail lights are LED and are powered by a 110v AC power supply which runs through a 12v DC converter. It measures 14.5 inches wide, by 36 inches long and is 14 inches deep which turns out to be about 4 cubic feet. Plenty of space to hold drinks and various food items to last at least a 500 mile race! "Hey bud grab me a beer from the trunk.."
Overall dimensions are 58" w x 58" L x 41 " tall.
A true concoction for an automotive aficionado, the ultimate convo piece and drink cooler service to boot. Have a seat and sit back and breathe it in! Gotta love this.
