A Trident Peel You thought the Met was small? A perfect Met door hing panel - bring tears of joy to my eyes! The Amphicar - the one that floats - it was a bad car and a bad boat.

There are really only a handful of cars I ever loved. The '57 Tbird, the '60 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, the '64 Corvette hardtop and the Metropolitan. Thank god for the Franklin Mint! Now I own them all! When I was about 9 years old we lived in East Rochester, NY and a lady in our church had a yellow and white '57 or '58 Metropolitan. I used to love to come out after church and watch her drive off into the distance and hope that some day I could have one. I loved that car. Now the truth be told, I have owned every bad car on the road. My history of auto ownership is a long tawdry affair: a '67 Ford Galaxy 500 (nicknamed Uriah Heep - don't ask!) a Ford Pinto (blew the engine at 18,000 miles) a Chevy Chevette (totalled the car and my knee in a collision) a VW rear engine station wagon (caught on fire when the engine compartment overheaded and fried all the hoses) a Chevy Citation (loved the car - it was just a bad car) an '86 Hyundai (baffled me completely because I bought it as a disposable car and it lasted for almost 10 years!?!) My only regret is that I never owned a Pacer, a Gremlin or a Yugo. UPDATE 7/2002: Circumstances have changed in a number of ways and I now down to only one Met. My red one got sold to a nice man in Boston who promised to give it the care and feeding it needs, my Blue coupe got sold to a high school and the remains of the parts car is now in a junk yard. The convertible rebuilding came out beautifully (click link in upper left) and along the way I managed to pick up a 1950 Crosly Station Wagon that we're going to have some fun with. When its done it will look something like the photo below: 1950 Crosley Station Wagon concept artwork. Enjoy. Howie Green See our New England Yankee Mets Site
