Everyone likes to be a little different with their cars, especially when it comes to classic tin.

Plenty of people also love a barn-find, so this 1954 Nash Metropolitan drag car could be just the ticket! For sale in Ohio the tiny sports car was built into a drag car in the 1960s by one of the associates of Don “Big Daddy” Garlits, the undisputed king of the Golden Era of drag racing.

The Nash was parked up from 1971 until 2005, when it was brought back out for more racing, before being parked up again in 2007. The incomplete car needs a bit of work but you could be assured to be the only drag-spec Nash Metropolitan on spindle-mount wheels at your local cars ‘n’ coffee!
