Pee Wee Herman & a 1958 Metropolitan, circa 1985.
The accompanying Life Magazine article likely coincided with the release
of "Pee Wee's Big Adventure".
The house in the background of the
pictures is part of the set used for the "Leave It To Beaver" TV Series.
In December, 1953, testing on the Nash Metropolitan was done at Raleigh Speedway,
a one-mile paved track that was also the first lighted superspeedway in the '50s.
Car E1008 performed the speed endurance trial, E1013 performed the economy trial,
and E1271 performed the 24-hour test.
Raleigh Speedway was the second Superspeedway to stage a NASCAR race.
Darlington Speedway was the first.
The "X Files" episode, "The Post Modern Prometheus", originally aired November 30, 1997.
It was written & directed by " X Files" creator, Chris Carter.
Many consider “Prometheus,” from season five and filmed in beautifully gothic black and white,
to be
to be one of the all-time best "X-Files" episodes.
Certainly, it was the only "X-Files" episode to feature Jerry Springer - or a Nash Metroplitan.

This image is from the first season (1968-69) of "Adam 12".
This episode was called of "We Can't Just Walk Away from It".
The original air date of this episode was 3/1/1969.
The picture is of Martin Milner, who played officer Pete Malloy.
Since it is difficult to see whether this Nash Metropolitan has a trunk,
all one can know for sure is that this car was a 1956 (later version) or newer.
