1954 Nash Metropolitan
By Brian Earnest
Back in 1970, even though he had just bought a flashy new muscle car, Jim Caron just couldn’t help himself. His sparkling new 1969 SC/Rambler was fun and all, but Caron figured that the lonely old 1954 Nash Metropolitan he had seen at a local boneyard needed a new home.
“I dunno, I’m a car guy, I’ve always been a car guy,” said Caron, a resident of Las Vegas. “I had [a Metropolitan] before that, but it was all rusty… Just being the junkyard dog that I am, I had to ask the guy how much he wanted for it. I wound up giving him 40 bucks. Then I put a battery in it and drove it home.
“Now, you have to remember, at that time these cars were absolutely worthless. Hey, $50 could buy you a real car back in those days!”
Caron might not have guessed it at the time, but his decision to part with two Andrew Jacksons has blossomed into a longtime attachment to his little Nash, which is now a shiny, fully restored show-stopper that has become a permanent part of Caron’s ever-changing collector car fleet. Today, it shares garage space with some impressive company: his rare and all-original SC/Rambler, a rare ’66 Rambler wagon, a Jaguar Mark X, 1976 Rolls Royce Shadow, a 1970 Chevrolet pickup, and a 1978 Alfa Romeo Spyder that is currently being restored.
Not bad company for an orphaned sub-compact that only cost about $1,500 new and was probably only a few steps from the crusher or the graveyard when Caron decided to save it. “When I go to a show with it, it gets all the attention,” he said. “I could have a million-dollar Ferrari next to it, and it still gets the attention.”
