Looking at getting an 3rd gen ecodiesel soon myself. However do you know any way to somewhat bulletproof these trucks since taking off emissions is out of the question now?
Me, too, Scotty!! I love the Metropolitan-- so cute! 🥰
WHERE ARE THESE CAR COMPANY EXECUTIVES HEADS? 😂
👋👋👋🙂Cloudy afternoon in south georgia.
My grandfather had one. Never rode in it but would always go into it whenever he drove up -- always some candy in the dash pocket for us grand kids.
Finally a car with no error codes! 😎👍
The big fancy scan tool let us down.
😂
Than fu-ny
😂😂😂😂
It’s not gonna need a CarPlay reboot?
When I was a little kid, our neighbor came home with a big surprise for the Mrs. He took her outside, and told her, "open your eyes". When she did, she saw a brand new Nash Metro. She burst into tears! We always got a big laugh out of that...
Were those happy or sad tears?
@@torpmorp1324 Tears of surprise and disappointment! She expected a bulgemobile typical of the day....
@@torpmorp1324
Inquiring minds want to know 😂
Scotty I’ve been your student for a few years cuz I’m a car lover but not a great mechanic like you are! I studied your SUV suggestions and purchased a 2022 Mazda CX 5 off a lease with 20,000 miles on it, and it’s a gem! I followed your instructions on SUVs and Mazda, Toyotas, which I LOVE, and Hondas and I’m truly grateful and happy about my purchase. You’re a common sense guy and a great teacher!
God bless you!!
and Hondas? So U made sure never to buy the 1.5 turbo GDI engine with oil dilution
where can I find this information. because right now I'm looking at the 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz
@@gradyrogers6707
Don't buy a Hyundai, seriously.
Scotty hates them and KIA's too.
Wait for the Toyota Stout that's almost here.
I saw a Nash Metropolitan at Lake Havasu that was rodded up and had a V8 stuffed into it. The licence plates were “NASHTY”. Dream car.
Scotty sure was happyyy in this vid.
Man loves his vintage cars
Weed 😂
Scottys 1437th car in his collection
😅😂
I remember using your left foot for the high beams.
Yeah, soon transport department will be saying we can't touch the steering wheel, too much stuff on it 😂
Indeed those were the days and I still like it
The Nash/Rambler 232 and 258 cui inline 6 cylinder engines were tough as nails. I know both were still being used in AMC vehicles in the late '70's/early '80's - including Jeeps. The 232's (with a one-barrel carb) got surprisingly decent gas mileage in highway driving. The problem with AMC vehicles lay mainly in the quality (or lack thereof) of the bodies matched to those engines. AMC Gremlins, Pacers, Hornets and early Jeep CJ's....AMC used those engines everywhere.
When I was a little kid in Los Angeles in the early 50's, my daycare provider's (babysitter's) husband had a Hudson Hornet. What a beautiful car! She liked to torture us be feeding us sauerkraut and liver, but it was worth it just to admire that beautiful car in the garage!
I bet your liver and gut thanked her for that food! Both are super healthy but I would want a hamburger any dayvover liver. I love sauerkraut with hotdogs or brakwurst - German sausage. 😋
Love these old AMC cars. Nash, Rambler, and Hudson were the peak of AMC. Metropolitan was the best innovation from them.
My parents bought a 1960 Nash Metropolitan which I drove in 1973-74 to high school. All stock. Great gas mileage. Always started right up. Fruited the interstate at 70-75 mph. Built like a tank! My little sister rolled it on a dirt road- barely put a dent in it.
characterful, but imagine that turning circle with the front wheels like that.
I had no idea they were British made. That explains a lot about how , well , you all know.
Morris Oxford/Austin Cambridge 1500 engine.
Finally a car we can all afford 😊 give me a dozen
Omg!!!! a car not made outta plastic now that’s an idea!!
0-60 in less than two minutes made me LOL too funny. What a neat little car though, I'd love to have one.
My cousin had a Nash Metropolitan convertible when she attended the University of Arkansas in 1960-1963. She was cool and so was the car.
Does it still have a ceramic muffler? Life time warranty no matter who owns it. Ah yes the old Tillotson tickler carburetor, what fun.
Electrons flow from Negative to Positive no matter what.
I agree! I went to school for electronics. We studied electron flow. Guys taking electrician classes studied hole flow. That's why electricians say power goes to ground.
@@JP-ei1hi lightning goes from GND to the sky(cloud).
That is an interesting feature on these Cars
Some say it’s easier to think it flows the other way.
@@torpmorp1324 it? what exactly?
Now I'm used to checking out Jay Leno's garage with classics like this because you don't see them on the road much anymore this was a treat I've never seen a Hudson and Nash, never saw one only a car shows did I see them in a parking spot or close to somebody's driveway, I've never seen one of these cars that well maintained, I think there was also another model the Hudson turbo metropolitan absolutely flawless.
My dad was a big Nash fan back in the day. He liked the gas mileage and the fact the front seats would fold down and he could sleep in the car on his fishing trips. I remember that they had a button under the clutch pedal to engage the starter. He got a used Rambler wagon in the early 60's that had a V8. About 250cid I think it was. It would do a burnout about 20 ft.
Used to desire a Metropolitan but now, I really want a Nash Rambler 😂
we had a 62 amc Rambler convertible
Those are crazy little cars the left door will fit on the right side and the right side will fit on the left side
High beams with your foot is crazy. Blew my mind when my grandmother first told me about it. 19 year old here 😂
My 1968 GTO's high beams were turned on the same way. It was pretty much standard for most cars back then.
My '89 Ford F-250 Diesel has a high beam foot switch.
It’s not a Celica?
🤣
used to own a 1979 Celica Supra hatchback 5 speed stick, its the car i most regret selling , i only paid $500 for it in 1999 (my Uncle owned a tow yard and gave me a sweetheart deal, that car looked and ran like it was new even though it was 20 years old at the time) it was reliable, drove like a dream and got great mileage, selling it was one of the worst mistakes i ever made
I saw Celica for sale few months ago on Craigslist.
@battledrill supposedly toyota is putting one out next year scotty should look into that
Early prototype Toyota model in mufti….
Cool, glad you can find something you wanted!
Scotty, a GREAT segment. Best of all, you seem to be having a really good time. You deserve it. Refreshing to see someone on CZcams with some genuine emotion. Michael
My Uncle had one too. My cousins drove it all the time. It was their main transportation for a long time. Nice to see one again. Thanks Scotty.
I love the british green color.
Best part: @0:44 Now we know it´s an English car. 🤣
Scotty liked to drive fast on his motorbike when he was young. What a surprise! haha He's still fast.
love seeing scotty happy with his old timey cars
My 1st car was a 63 rambler classic..3 on the tree transmission…..great car❤…front sets folded to make a bed😅…my BGF loved it and me😂
Brilliant Scotty!
Here across the pond, they were very popular - in a two tone white/turquoise.
They were made by Austin.
I always wanted one - but they were beyond my salary, at the time.
Great little cars and You have the weather for one!!
Well 6 million I think you'll be alright.. enjoy Scotty from David UK .. big respect 😮
My neighbor once had a Metropolitan. I just remember the funny little 6-volt electrical system.
Just my style! And green is my favorite color. This was a fun fun fun video! Thanks, Scotty!
Looks just like my old Austin A35 under the hood. They speed tested them on the German autobahn believe it or not and they were very reliable as long as properly maintained. I also had a 64 Rambler American with a big grunty straight 6 that I rebuilt from a pile of parts and drove all over England and Sweden in the 80's. It had a galvanised under body which is why it survived the salt on the scandinavian roads in the winter. You dont need a lot of money to have fun with cool old cars and no bloody scan tool either...
When I was growing up, the gas station across the street from my house repaired all those English cars. Thanks for showing this car from the past.
there was one on the roof of a shop on 68/80 near Russelville Kentucky.
One of these was in an episode of the xfiles and I always thought it looked cool.
Had a 1954 Nash Metro as a first car, in Wahiawa Hawaii in 1965. Love the car, it was pink in color and the girls loved it. Very dependable car, would love to have another one!
Cool deal Scotty, thank you ro this video, first one i watched twice. Very nice.
My brother and I had a 62 metropolitan in the late 70s. Yes it can do just about 70mph. We blew the rear doing burnouts in the back yard😂
This is the best car I have see on this channel for a while.
Id love to own one. Long as it stops, indicates, lights up wt night and doesnt waste too much petrol, im happy.
The metropolitan was made by morris garage...MG. we actually had two and a nash cross country too. All 1954. The cross country looked just like the metropolitan, but bigger. The three were mechanically horrible. Bad everything. I remember that the linkage on the shifter would alway get crossed and we had to carry a big screwdriver in the car. (the met) it happened at traffic lights when you shifted into first. You had to quickly jump out of the car, open the hood and uncross the linkage before the people behind you got mad. Constant problems with those cars, but they are cute.
L😂L
What my mental being that would be a *Day nightmare* for me.
I am absolutely envious. When I first got my drivers license that’s the car I wanted above everything. It was really hard to find in my area. I bought a used Austin Healy Bug Sprite. There is a story I heard a long time ago about a Delaware state trooper in his personal Metropolitan stopped a speed and either the engine fell out or blew up or something but I have no idea how true that is. Enjoy.
0-60 in 2 minutes Love it Scotty lol👍👍
Yeah but he also said tops out at about 50, so that would be 0-60 in never.
@@P_Ezi even better :)
I love Hudson’s they’re badass and under appreciated
Thanks for answering my question on your last Livestream.
I always learn something watching your channel !
My mom was given one around 50 years ago. Black and white with the battery located in the back seat. I drove it a time or two 😂😂
My dream car is 2020 Yaris Hatch and now I have one!! 🥳🎉
I kept thinking “is there a hole in the firewall!!” 😂
What a great car! You'll have heaps of fun with that, Scotty! And look at how easy those old cars were to work on! Love those Texan pedestrian puncturers.
So neat to finally see the Bones of these cars… Thankyou for sharing your experience with them… 😇🤙🏽
I have a '57 and I love it!
Scotty,did you find dream car 2014-2018 Toyota Corolla.
I thought was going to be a corvette didn't expect a Nash metro
That's an awesome little car, made with fun in mind❤👌💯
We even had these cars in New Zealand, in right hand drive of course. A couple of classy young ladies a few houses up the street had one, yellow and white 2 tone. All English cars with this engine including MGs had a 4 speed trans, so if you could find one, that would be a good upgrade.
🎉Drop in a 327 or 289❤ , you could probably use one of them 70s 280Z independent rear ends
It's cute. Guy I knee in 80's got ahold of one.,Hunter Harsh was a big dude. Car didn't do too bad hauling 300 pounds.
Brings back memories!
Scotty a hudnson and nash metropolitan wow!!! See what routine automotive maintenance preserves!
Love it!
l road in one back in the day, i think my sister’s vw beetle would smoke it!
You said it a blast from the past!!!thank you made my year!!!
Nice but just keep the 1994 Celica, it’s your true dream car.
Scotty! I live in Medina, NY! Maybe someone will have one of these at a car show here in town.
It's like my 67 Opel Kadet, it was a 1.1 liter motor. It would get 36 mpg. Over 40 going down the mountain. Almost had to get out and help push it going back up the mountain pass. It just got hard to find parts for it. The rack and pinion steering finally gave out, and couldn't find a replacement.
Oh my God that was my first car. Same year too with the 1.1 l. Once two guys had to get out of the car so we could make it up a hill
Maxwell Smart
That was clearly a joyous visit
I’d lose the bullhorns
Great …..little brother of the cars used in Superman TV program with George Reeves 😊
Nice ride- you deserve it. A car you can repair with a leatherman multitool.
Excellent, Scotty!
Love your channel, you must have bought so many cars🤔
Haha... I like that even the horns are small. Great looking little classic!
Good choice! In a grid down situation you can still drive somewhere but fuel stations won’t be working.
My friends dad had one in the 60s.
The chrome on the rear bumper was peeling off like old paint.
I want a midsize 2024 Scotty Kilmer 4x4 pickup truck😁
I like how it sounds like a lawn mower😅, it sounds like the English will only looking for a car so they can drink their tea in style! I also think that the English built the mg? I believe so they have pretty cool looking cars.
We love Scotty's comedies. Don't you ?🎉
Hell yeah. This was extra awesome because he reviewed a classic car. Love Scotty’s classic car knowledge.
Basically a Austin as far as drivetrain goes
Wow thats a beautiful Met
That engine is similar to the toyota 12R if the intake and exhaust are on the same side... same with the distributor but is a 1.6 compared to that 1.5
the fact it could do 60 is still nice
Little car is cute👍💕
Nice car
This definitely brings back memories as I rode in one with my Dad and my uncle back in the 60’s each of them drove them. Yes they were extremely economical on gas!! The challenge was getting parts and service we ended up doing our own because it was so unique. Good job Scotty
They stopped making my dream car decades ago. You know what I'm talking about Scotty.
Have fun 😊
I had a Nash Metropolitan field car.
Cool car.
Back about 1957 Dad test drove a Metropolitan. I sat sideways in the back seat. Dad did not buy that car. It had an Austin engine, among other things. Of course, the Metropolitan is now collectible.
My cousin had a Nash metropolitan.
I love Metros.
Some of the first interchanges laid down for the Eisenhower Interstate System were designed where 50 mph was the end of the world for common cars. You can tell, 30 mph clover leaf ramps!🤦♂️🤣
Scotty you are soo cool! Is it really yours?
