Later when Rambler displaced both Nash and Hudson cars, the Metropolitan had its own medallion emblem.

The Metropolitan's had no trunk opening.You got into the trunk through the back seat.

Some older folks might remember that American Motors sponsored Disneyland, an hour long program on ABC every week beginning in the mid fifties.

I actually wanted one of those. That is until I saw the spartan inside. Opening the hood revealed the smallest motor I had ever seen. I do recall the Metropolitan in the Superman series. I dont believe they ever made an automatic.

Well with the passing of Wonder and Hostess, does anyone remember "Tut tut nothing but Butternut Bread?" Are they still in business?

Butternut was the sponsor of the Cisco Kid. I cant remember whether it was the radio version or the TV version, or both.

I was, more or less, out of my drive in days when this place opened, but recall going there one time.

What was amazing to me was that you could be sitting there watching the movie but could turn around and look back and have a good view of what was going on with the other screen.

How about a relatively easy mystery photo? This one was taken in 1988.
