#27 – Nash Metropolitan
The Nash Metropolitan was constructed by the British Manufacturer Austin Motor Company and designed in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The idea behind the vehicle was to be the second car for the family. Many consider it the U.S.’s first sub-compact car, even though no one had coined the term yet. Production started in 1953, with Austin producing 95,000 Metropolitans over the following years. It was less than 13 feet and had two doors and two seats. The car’s success helped spur General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler to make compact cars.
