We would like to feature some
Metropolitan Trading cards.
Hope you enjoy seeing these, and
maybe you can find some of these yourself!
These cards are
larger than shown here.
They have been reduced to save web
space.
This card was
from a collection from Car and Driver Magazine
Below is the back of the card
Below is the
front and back of a Full Speed cigarette pack card
#41,
showing a 1956 Met from the Netherlands.
The
Raisin Bran card below is very interesting. It does not
mention the name Metropolitan,
only calls it the New Nash
Sports Car.
If you notice, the hubcaps do not have the Nash
or "M" logo,
and the script on the side of the car
says: "NKI CUSTOM".
This card is very hard to find
and is one of 10 "Sports Car" cards in the cereal
box.
The card below
is a commemorative card put out by Life Cereal in
conjunction with Life Magazine.
It shows Pee Wee Herman
jumping for joy beside his Met.
(we aren't sure if he really
owned a Met, but word was back in the 80's he did own one).
I
don't know much about this card other than it was given away
by Shell gas stations as part of a set.
The card below isn't a trading card, but
has a special relationship to the Met.
James Watson was the national Sales Manager for AMC in
charge of the
Nash Metropolitan. This is a picture of one of his actual
business cards
that we acquired from his estate. James was tragically killed
in a house
fire several years ago. If only he knew the following this
little car had
so many years after it was created.
This is a Phone Card made by the Strategic
Telecom Systems Inc. in 1997 and
expired on 5-31-98. They are 10 Unit cards and only 100 were
made. This card is
#87 of 100. This card is not scratched off to reveal the pen
number.
Phone cards have become quite collectable. This one is no
exception.
