1959 Nash Metropolitan

Wow! Thanks for the info. Basically I want this to be as simple as possible, because I am paying the world’s nicest mechanic to do the work. I want the car to be safer to drive, easier to maintain, and better on gas mileage than it is now. The fuel gauge is currently broken, so it’s a constant worry about whether or not there is gasoline, and it backfires every time I turn it off. My son loves this car and will be getting his license in a few years. I wouldn’t depend on it for constant transportation, but I would like him to have it to cruise around in. Does that help narrow down the choices?
