I stopped at a gas station in Oyen, Alberta today for coffee and gas. I noticed this car in the parking lot as it was not there a few minutes earlier. Two older men just came inside and I asked them if this was their car. They said it was and the first thing they did was set me straight on the colour. It is a Nash Metropolitan. I forgot to ask the year. They offered to take me for a rid in it. I was on my way home and declined but I am kicking myself for not taking them up on it.
They have been restoring it. Upon closer inspection there are a few minor wrinkles in the body and it does need to be repainted. I think they should change the colour.
So...it isn't pink?
ReplyDeleteIt is pink to me.
DeleteOooh! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThere used to be one around my home berg. It was always a kick to see it.
Check out the Nash Metropolitan Wikipedia page. It's pretty cool.
Will do.
DeleteReal cars wear pink!
ReplyDeleteIn my much younger days my father had a Mercury Meteor that was this colour.
DeleteI have never seen a salmon that color.
ReplyDeleteNash Metropolitans are the epitope of "cute."
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of them I see each summer here in town...one is yellow and white, the other is blue and white. Chances are, if you wave to someone in a Metropolitan, they'll wave back.
Sweet ride! Although I must admit, with my aversion to pink (salmon or otherwise) I wouldn't be long painting it if it were mine.
ReplyDeleteIMHO, it's a refreshing bright spot in a sad depressing sea of black/gray/white or dark red vehicles.
