Unique of the Week: 1961 Nash Metropolitan V8 Hot Rod - Race Cars News

This is what happens when a hot rod enthusiast gets their hands on a basic 1950s commuter car. Nash Metropolitans and hot rods aren't really known for having much to do with one another. Their similarities usually start and finish with the fact they're both cars and that's about it. As we can see here with this small-block V8-powered 1961 Metropolitan, it's apparent that this is not strictly the case. But before we get to its dirty resume of upgrades, a little background historical information on the base car itself is required.
