  4. The power train is a stock Nash Metropolitan.
    This car is part of the permanent collection
    at The Metropolitan Pit Stop Museum in
    North Hollywood, California and can be
    seen for free during business hour.

    Here is a video on my YouTube channel
    that I recently took - this car is at 6:30.
