1956 Hudson Metropolitan

An incredibly charming vehicle from the 50s, a Hudson Metropolitan that found its way to Sweden from the States back in 2011. Despite the car's almost 70 years of life, it is in extremely good condition.

Equipped with a 1.2-liter Austin engine of approx. 43hp/85nm connected to 3-speed steering gear and rear wheel drive. Just right with performance for trips to and from the ice cream kiosk!

Overall good condition after complete renovation in the States. The body is undamaged, the sheet metal is fine and the paintwork is in very good condition, except for a scratch on the right front fender. Chrome parts are in good condition. Glass parts and lanterns as well. A small amount of patina is present, such as minor paint loss on the chrome caps.

The interior of the car is just as charming with its gold-coloured seats and patterned seating surfaces. Inner ceiling in good condition and everything else as well. Door sides have light dirt and minor marks, but nothing conspicuously bad. Lighter wear on the steering wheel, but nothing that needs to be done about. Equipped with fire extinguisher between driver and passenger.

Mechanically in good condition just like the rest of the vehicle. The engine and gearbox are without remarks and is fully working. No leaks have been found from engine, gearbox or powertrain. Under the hood nestles the small Austin stove and it looks neat and tidy. There is some fuel found below the carburettor, so a gasket change may be a good thing to do.

Fantastic piece car that is rarely seen on our roads today. According to information, there is currently only one registered in Sweden.
