The Metropolitan Story

Well written and very informative about our favorite car, the Metropolitan.

I am a new Metropolitan enthusiastic- this book has really taught me a lot about my little car. Love it.

Pat Foster is a great automotive historian and writes a very entertaining story. I do not own a Met but he piqued my interest enough that I would consider having one. The only reason I rated it 4-stars instead of 5-stars is that I would have appreciated more color pictures but he may have published all the ones that were available.

This book is exactly what I was looking for. History, great photos, and anecdotes can all be found. There is all kinds of information on exactly what makes Metropolitans so irresistible even today, more than half a century after production ceased. This book is perfect for Metropolitan owners, dreamers and admirers alike. Whether you have a Met in your driveway or just wish you did, this book is a must read.

Very informative. As a Met owner, I learned a lot.

I wish I had one of these cars; this book is the closest I'll get to owning one.

For a car that didn't change too much in it's 8 year history this book is 200 pages of great photos and in depth study of the marketing tactics used to try and convince Americans that this was all the car many of em needed.

A "must" read for all Metro owners. Great history of this classic little car with pictures over the years of Metro owners and their love of the best looking small car ever made.
