I know someone who will love this line:
"Nash Metropolitans, another car my father bought. The Metropolitan was designed by professional cartoonists to look like the main character in a children's book with a name like Buster the Car Goes to Town. It was so small that it was routinely stolen by squirrels."

Actually the Nash corporation was quite innovative for it's time. Shown below is the optional "Blizzard Package" for the Metropolitan.
Snow tire manufacturers threatened Nash with unending litigation if they did not abandon the project so this option became quite rare and the whole incident became known as the worst automotive snow job in history
