DescriptionEdit

The Metrorail Nash Metropolitan is an original Hot Wheels design based on a customized 1950s Nash Metropolitan, one of the first American "subcompact" cars. The Metropolitan was an American design but was built at Austin's Longbridge plant in England and exported to the USA and Canada. The Hot Wheels version has a dramatically elongated hood, plus the usual supercharged V8 we have come to expect from them.
