What is the make of the little 2- tone car in the new JC Penny commercial. I am pretty sure that it is an old car and would appreciate any info on it. Thanks!

I was going to say earlier that it was a Nash Metropolitan, but **GuanoLad** had posted an hour earlier.

But now I’ve got The Pogues running through my head.
