I have wanted a Nash Metropolitan since I was in high school. Having purchased my motorcycle back in October of 2005, I knew that any new toys were strictly out of the question for quite a while. On April 22, 2006, I received a phone call from a man named Paul who found me in the Metropolitan Owner's Club directory. He had a '57 Met for sale. I kindly declined, knowing my wife, Amy, would not be pleased if I came begging for yet another toy. After the call, Amy asked me what it was all about. When I told her about the car, she said, "What are you going to do?" I said, "Nothing. I declined." I thought she would be pleased. Instead, she said, "If you sell your bike, you can buy that car." What to do? I gave it quite a bit of thought, and decided to go see the car. We fell in love right away and made an offer on the car. I sold my bike on ebay and picked up the car on April 29th.

This show was part of a larger three-day event hosted by Chuck and Nancy Gould called the Micro and Mini Car Classic (www.bubbledrome.com). We'll be driving Minnie to this year's event. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This 1957 Met has an earlier model hood. Only Met geeks would notice this. I did. |  |

| This is a great looking car in a great color. |  |

| When I asked Jim for a ride, he told me to drive! It was my first ride ever in a Met and I was in the driver's seat. |  |

| This was really a blast. Thanks Jim! |  |

| This Met came to the show on a trailer and stayed there. |  |
