Nash and Hudson combined in 54 but still sold their cars under their respective names, Nash and Hudson. The Metro was actually designed in the US but built overseas by Austin because it would cost too much to change the factories over to a small car. So Nash and Hudson had the Metropolitan in 54-55 and not sure about 54. I believe 56-57 there was only Nash Metropolitans available in the US and from 58 to 61 or 62 they were AMC Metropolitans. The cars were sold in Canada and England and were called Austin Metropolitans but do not know the years on that. To my knowledge, the cars for each year are all the same except for grill badge, hubcaps and horn button.
