The Nash Metropolitan was a subcompact car that was sold from 1954 to 1962. The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets.

The Metropolitan was designed in the United States.
Nash negotiated with several European companies, until on October 5th, 1952, they announced that they had settled on the Austin Motor Company (by then part of BMC) and Fisher & Ludlow, both English companies based around Birmingham. The bodywork would be produced by Fisher & Ludlow, and the mechanicals would be provided, as well as final assembly undertaken, by the Austin Motor Company. This was the first time an American-designed car had been entirely built in Europe. The Metropolitan was available in two body designs - convertible and hardtop. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_Metropolitan
