Nash Metropolitan (Series IV)

The Series IV of January 1959 was a major redesign that added an external trunk lid, where earlier cars could be reached only through the rear seatback, plus a one piece rear window and vent windows, with a higher compression engine rated at 55 horsepower. Sales rose to 22,209 in 1959, the best year, but fell afterwards as the Rambler American and compact cars from the Big Three arrived. Its model years run from 1959 to 1961.
