1956 Nash/Hudson Metropolitan Model 542 - Online Auction For Sale by Auction
— View the entire auction on - details above —
The Hudson Metropolitan, also known as the Hudson Met, is a compact car produced in the 1950s. It was a joint project of the American car manufacturer Hudson Motor Car Company and the British car manufacturer Austin. The car was produced between 1954 and 1961 and was intended as a cheaper alternative to the larger, more expensive cars on the market at the time. The Hudson Metropolitan was a small car with a distinctive design that combined American and British styles. The car was available as a Coupé or convertible and was originally powered by a small 1. 2 liter 4-cylinder engine that produced between 40 and 52 horsepower. The interior of the Hudson Metropolitan was compact but comfortable, with room for a maximum of four passengers. The dashboard was simple but functional, with all important controls within reach of the driver. The design of the car was also very distinctive, with a characteristic grille and characteristic round headlights. The Hudson Metropolitan was popular with American buyers because of its low price and fuel economy. However, it was not as popular as some of the larger cars of the time and production was discontinued in 1961 when the Hudson Motor Car Company was taken over by the American Motors Corporation. Today, the Hudson Metropolitan is a popular classic, largely because of its unique design and interesting history.
