    Default Nash Metro w Isuzu Diesel

    Saw this at a car show over the weekend. 1957 Nash Metropolitan with an Isuzu diesel, & Asian automatic transmission. The owner did not know much about it as he bought it converted. He said it got 60mpg, but he did not seem too sure. It was a nice conversion.

    About 1967 Spring Break at New Port Beach I saw one of those little Metropolitan's, same color except it was about 3 feet off the ground and sported a built shiny Chevy Orange 327. Would leap on command! I don't think he was to sure about his millage either!

    It looked like a good install. I would clean up the wireing a bit though.
