For sale just down the road from my friend’s house is a vintage sports coupe. It’s a 1957; this I know because the “For Sale” sign says 1957, it just doesn’t say the make & model. :smack:
The car is a two-seater sports coupe, hard top. The shape is vaguely similar to that of a Ford Thunderbird from the era, although the car I saw is smaller and lower, and lacks the air intake on the hood that the Thunderbird in the pic has.
On the front is the …crest? trademark? whatever it’s called. It’s three parallel red lines, oriented kinda SSW-NNE.
The usual suspect for a “baby Tbird from 1957” is a BMW 700, but that logo is easily recognizable. Sounds like you have a Nash Metropolitan coupe and a bad idea of what an old Tbird looks like.
Did it also have fins? I’m thinking it could be something European.
Is the logo #46here? That’s SSW to NNE but it’s three lines anyway.
Unfortunately there’s no key so I don’t know what it is, but I’m sure someone else could identify it. And if not someone could crop it out and Google search it.
Yeah, sorry about that, but my phone doesn’t have a camera, and I really didn’t think the whole situation was worth grabbing Mrs. Homie’s phone and making a 10-mile drive.
Well, describing a Nash Metropolitan as a “vintage sports coupe” is kinda hilarious. They’re great little cars, but not sporty. On a good day, a Metro could do 0-60 in, well, finite time.
