wow, that is a cool series of cars! I had a classmate with a Gremlin X, and he had a 390 stuffed under the hood, with posi... and damn, that car would lay rubber a LONG way!
In the late 1960's a guy was storing his Metro in my barn during the winter. One summer he never came to pick it up and later brought me the title in exchange for past due rent. Nice little car, but slow as molasses! You never wanted to pull out onto a fast road if there was anything else in sight.I must have sold it at some point, but I have no memory of what I did with it. A forgettable car.
Nothing a good 426 Hemi couldn't fix. 😁 She's cute by the way.

Deletemy mom drove a Metro, then a Karman Ghia, then a Beetle, then a Gremlin, then a renault encore
