One of the first subcompacts marketed in the US, the Metropolitan, was assembled in England (where production was more affordable) and marketed by both Hudson and Nash, until they merged to form the American Motor Company. Sold between 1953 and 1961, it was intended as a second car. Its wheelbase (85 in) was smaller than the VW Beetle, and was powered by a 1200 or 1500cc engine. Seen parked on a neighbourhood street in Vancouver's West End.

The Nash Metropolitan was an American automobile that was sold from 1953 to 1961. The Metropolitan was also sold as a Hudson when Nash and Hudson merged in 1954 to form the American Motors Corporation (AMC), and later as a standalone marque during the Rambler years, as well as in the United Kingdom and other markets.

The Nash Point lighthouses were designed by James Walker (Engineer in Chief of Trinity House) and were completed in 1832.
The two lighthouses at Nash Point were built as a direct result of ship losses on the Nash Sands and more so to avoid tragedies similar to the one in 1831 when the paddle steamer Frolic was lost with all onboard.
Two massive stone circular lighthouses were constructed, 1000ft (300m) apart. The western lighthouse is the lower one of the two and has always been painted white.
The eastern lighthouse used to be painted black and white (today this is all white) and displays a light, group flashing (2) white and red every 10 seconds, which can be seen 21 miles away.
Both lighthouses originally had fixed white lights which, if kept in line, would lead the vessel safely to the south of the Nash Sands.
The Frolic Disaster - Nash Point
In March 1831 the Frolic with Captain Edward Jenkins in command was returning to Bristol from Haverfordwest. She was making her way round Nash Point when she struck hard into a sandbank. There were no survivors.
The exact number of people onboard were thought to be about 55.
The public outcry which followed the disaster prompted the planning and building of Nash Point lighthouses.

Nash Point Lighthouse is an 19th century, grade 2 listed, historic building. It was the last manned lighthouse in Wales, de-manned in August 1998 .
The Lighthouse’s operation is monitored by Trinity House’s Operation & Planning Control Centre at Harwich, Essex, by telemetry and maintained by their engineers there and at the West Coast Division at Swansea and also by the attendant .
The station was built between 1831 -1832 using “Blue Lias” stone quarried from the beach below the station which was then winched up the cliff and dressed on site by very skilled masons and many labourers.
The foundations for both the low (west) tower and the high (east tower) were laid in the week before 1st October 1831 and the whole station was completed and exhibited its light for the first time on 1st September 1832., just 11 months after work commenced .
It is said that the Lighthouse was built due to the loss of a ship called “The Frolic” which was wrecked on the Nash Sands in March 1831 with the loss of about 78 lives . This incident may have been the reason that construction took place so soon and was completed so quickly.
It is on the Coastal path Of Wales ., on the Heritage Coast.
Glamorgan , South Wales .
