A lot of folks id'ed this one right away. I admit it was pretty much a sitting duck to figure out.
This one is a 1961 Nash Metropolitan.
They were made from 1953 to 1961, in 4 series (each with a slightly bigger engine.)
Production ended in 1961 and remaining inventory was sold in 1962. This is one of the last ones made.
They were actually made in England and shipped to the US and Canada. (so I guess it would qualify as an import car), although the company is American. In 1954 Nash and Hudson merged and the 1954 Metropolitan had a red HUDSON badge, but went back to the Nash badge in 55
The MSRP of a series 4 was a whopping. $ 1,672.60 for the hardtop and $ 1,696.80 for a convertible.
Hope you had fun with this one. I have another in the What Car Is It line up for later in the week.
Will put this into my "scraps" folder in a day or so with the other 8 previous ones. =^.^=

There are two or three of then running around here on San Juan Island, one is red and white, one a turquoise and a black and white one. The turquoise and white one I only saw once the other two I've seen them fairly regularly.
I've only seen one Metropolitan Wagon, that was about 1966 it was badged as a Metropolitan. And it was indeed a wagon.

The Metropolitan coupes and convertibles were sold in several countries, Canada and the US getting the most, some in the UK and Australia as well. The station wagons never were made in large numbers, Likely less than 1,000.
All versions had a run of just a few cars less than 95,000. So thare are a lot of them still out there.
