 Learn about the
Nash Metropolitan
- a classic car of the 1950s and 1960s. (We have a 1955
coupe, as shown to the left.) Nash
was a division of American Motors,
which sponsored Disney television programming in the 1950s. As the picture
at lower left shows, Disney characters showed their appreciation in TV
ads for American Motors. (This link requires the VDO video player,
