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 a week later.

| Here she is shortly after getting her home. |  |
| Here she is on a beautiful visit to the ocean. |  |
| The blue is not original, but looks good. Someday, we'll take it back to the original colors of yellow and white. |  |
| My biggest little toys. This is Minnie with our '61 Airstream Bambi, Stella. |  |
| I'm only dreaming. |  |
| Here are all my "girls"; Stella, Minnie and my favorite, my daughter Kelsey. From this perspective, Minnie makes Stella look small. |  |
The pictues below are from the Micro and Mini car show on 7/10/04 at the Larz Anderson auto museum (www.mot.org) in Brookline, MA. 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). |
| This is a great yellow and white convertible. |  |
| I love the yellow and white on the two-tone Mets. |  |

| 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. |  |
| How can you not love this? |  |
| 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. |  |
| Cute red and white hard top. |  |
