Nash Met With Public Sausage Car Dream Met With Public Demand
Nash President George W. Mason solved the small car puzzle by creating the Metropolitan after years of testing and public input. The American market wanted a $1,000 compact that looked and performed like a Cadillac. The car uses an English engine and a U.S built seal beam headlight, with a two adults and luggage capable rear seat, and reports say 49 miles per gallon. Orders prompted a 60 percent production boost from English makers.
