Metropolitan, but is it a Austin a Nash or a Hudson? |

Marketed in USA as Nash, but built by Austin. In UK (and elsewhere in Europe?) marketed as Austin AFAIK. |

Outside the US, it seems that they were badged just as Metropolitan. /vehicle_60514-Metropolitan-1500-1957.html |

Never badged as an Austin and never officially known as the Austin Metropolitan but sold by Austin dealers and shown in Austin literature. |

Body built by Fisher & Ludow, Ltd. in Birmingham, then shipped to Austin in Longbridge for the engine, and finally shipped to Nash dealers and sold as a Nash, or Hudson dealers and sold as a Hudson. This has the hood scoop, making it a '54/'55/'56 Nash Metropolitan 1200. The 1200 was replaced by the 1500 in the middle of '56, at which point the fake scoop was dropped. -- Last edit: 2008-05-28 05:04:10 |

Did the Nash or Hudson name or badge ever appear on a car or were they all just badged as 'Metropolitan'? |

Of course it did appear on all models: look here: Link to "www.chuckstoyland.com" Or here: http://www.trombinoscar.com/nash/met07.jpg And here for one badged only "Metropolitan" for the british market. http://www.trombinoscar.com/nash/met23.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-05-28 15:29:39 |
