1966 Plymouth Valiant vs. AMC Rambler American Rouge Dealer Promo Film 

The Chrysler slant 6 and the AMC I6 series engines used in these cars, (optional 6), were both bullet proof. The AMC engine in various forms (232, 258, 4.0) was built for 42 years, the slant six, 41 years. I have two AMCs with 232 engines, I love the six and will take one any day.

The Rambler eventually went out in a blaze of glory in 69 as the SC/Rambler pocket hot rod.

Rambler had duel-circuit brakes for extra safety.

I love how they compared the trunk spaces by how easily you could get a body in and out. Lol

Man, I miss the days when $48 made a difference on a new car price.

The Rogue was available with a 290 v8 and 4 speed trans later in the year. Some even later series had a 343 V 8

I've owned four AMC cars with vacuum wipers. All have worked flawlessly. The big difference from electric is that vacuum systems need to be maintained. The fuel pump boosters can weaken, hoses can leak, the big motor itself has seals that leak over time. Maintain them well and step on the gas, they go faster. I had a Ford, however, that had a tiny vacuum motor and no boost. The wipers would fly back and forth only when the wind blew them up off the windshield.

Nice a comparison that doesn't involve GM and Ford:)

I like the boop sound when ever a picture changes

Rambler offered a dual-circuit hydraulic brake system, like Studebaker and Cadillac. What about Valiant? 8:05 detailed instructions on how to dispose of a body?

Great video, hard to believe that I’m AMC had vacuum wipers in 1966 wow

love these video's!! the Valiant and Rogue were both really "Elegant" looking cars, so much more impressive then anything from GM or Ford., I'd be very happy with a Signet with Commando v8, 4 speed trans, with ALL options, in that really sharp Copper color with a Black top

0:30 I like the Valiant, but they really should have used a sample where the trim was fitted correctly.

I was looking at the BMW 3series for 2018 but this Valiant has just got it going on!!!

Both rather appealing cars - I'd own either (with optional electric wipers on the Rogue, please - it isn't 1948, after all!)

I liked them both. When I saw a Rambler Rogue in Gold and Black with the 225 horse 290 V-8 and a four speed, There was no contest. Attention to detail: the Rambler is a Rogue, not a rouge.

I'd wait for the 67 dart coupe.

the rambler had smoother lines, nicer grilles...We owned a1973 Argentine IKA Renault Torino TS two door based on the rambler rouge body, it had an aluminium straight six and two barrel carb, real woodgrain interior, leather bucket sets, short throw 4 speed, front grille similar to an Alfa, back like a BMW. That car was wicked fast and it rocked! EPA wouldn't let me bring it back to the States! Their GTS model has three carbs!!! We bought the Torino TS new back in 73.

Man, this is great!!! I had a GF that grew up with Ramblers. Funny that when time arrived for a new car, her Dad bought a Mopar (Dart, i think, '72). Seems like splitting hairs when looking at $32.00 as price point. Its all relative. A year before this was taped i saw a StingRay with a sticker price of $5500. Seemed outrageous to an 8 year old kid. Heck, so did $300 for a Stratocaster. Money was worth something then.

I had a 1966 rambler American scrambler paint ode A 390 4speed 390 posi rear end with a/c was never beat on the street

We owned a 67 Valiant and bought a brand new 72. And I mean my parents did 😅 but the 72 was my car in 76 during high school years because my parents bought a 74 Vega 😢 and the 72 sat. My brother drove to 72 about 6 months ,memories!

My moms first car was a 66 Valiant convertible . She (we) loved that car .

I used to drive a Plymouth ignant had a 318 and would move out.!

They're both better than the Falcon or Nova.

Thank you for posting this and other videos. Looking at cars and thier features from the past is very interesting. I also send these videos to my Old Man and he enjoys the videos as well. Keep up the great work, you are a huge asset to the car community.

Clearly the Valiant comes out ahead.

I bought a used 1966 Rambler American for $300. on the early 1970s. Best darn riding car I've ever been in, except maybe a Citroën DS21...

"The Rambler still has coil spring up front"

Out after the 'dead body lift' feature was revealed

Valiant all day, excellent video!

I'd take either one both were great cars

So, who's auto trans were they using at AMC? A Borg Warner? A Ford unit? I know that later in the 60s they switched to Torque Flights.

Rambler ROGUE, not "rouge." Rouge (French for "red") is the makeup a lady puts on her face.

Visit your Chrysler-Plymouth dealer today.

i wishd id had some day 1966 valiant and 1967 barracuda

No matter what he says, I would choose the Rambler over Valiant. Its the better looking of the 2.

Plymouth Valiant! Rock On!

Did the Rogue come in Rouge?

The damn beat beat

I LIKE IT. I WOULD LOVE TO PAINT TWO OF THEM

1/2 way through the model year the 290 CID V-8 became an American option.

The Canadian 66 Valiant was a better-looking car than the US version. Canada received the rebadged US model Dodge Dart, which bore the name "Valiant" without any other brand identification. My family had the 66 Custom 200 two-door hardtop in metallic bronze, with the 273 V8 (180 hp).

American Rogue looks cooler.

Rusted away already in the brochure, as we say here :)

Bring back the two-door Ramblers, right now. I'll take two of those babies: Flathead 6, "three on the tree" no problem

i wishd id had some day 1966 rambler

I would trade my jeep liberty for a valiant

I was too little to know much about these 2 cars but I know they were both very good. The rambler was better looking and I think the coil springs were better. The trunk opening advantage seems to go to valiant, however, knowing Chrysler, it probably was at the expense of body integrity. Steering ratio advantage goes to valiant. Does anyone know if the rambler was a better riding and driving car?

I WISHD ID HAD AMC AND VALIANT AND 3 BARRACUDAS 1967-1971

Pump washer is Awsome.

Funny how safety wasn't on the radar back then. No mention of braking distances, seat belts or test crash results.

I guess they don’t make these types of films for sales staff anymore.

I'd still buy a Rambler over a Plymouth.

My Rambler American has a 450 horse Chevy LS engine and 6-speed transmission, that tops the Valiants optional V8 4 speed transmission.

Both were old hat and small compared to the all new 1966 Ford Falcon range. No contest. Although that Torque flite automatic transmission in the Valiant is pretty amazing

I still like the AMC, beep.

Funny how later Chrysler bought them out I had a 71 gremilin with a 232 6 and a tourqe flight trans it was fast just with the 6cyl . Both were good cars and made well I never seen a water cooled transmission or they talking about how they use the lower radiator tank to cool the fluid ? I changed the trans in the gremlin with a later year 74/75 and it was air cooled .

1st car 1963 Rambler American, 2nd car 1971 Plymouth Valiant both 6 cylinder 3 speed manuels. thought the Valiant was better because it was newer.

they mantion the dumbest things for comparison, but they never tell you that the MoPar has negative caster which improves steering control

lo mejor los rambler amc o vam

I've always like the Rambler 440 . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xFhz3piPh3k.html A little old lady's car that you could never talk the little old lady into selling. Typically died and willed it to some in-law that wouldn't sell it either. When is Mopar going to make an electric car that uses a lot of hemp in the structure ? Patents 672256, 3190554, 3013505 .

George Romney, president of AMC, famously said, "the only race we care about is the human race." The 1964 Rambler American revision was the company's last chance to design a platform which could have offered competitive performance to the big three V8 compacts, and this anti-race philosophy meant they blew their last chance. That platform was used all the way to 1989 under American, Hornet, Gremlin, Concord and Spirit, because there was no money to revise it after the lost opportunity in the '60s. The Rogue, like the earlier American 440 hardtop, had cleaner styling than Valiant/Dart (especially in '64 - yikes!) and looks less dated today. But the writing was on the wall once the muscle car era got into full swing. AMC later built some competitive cars, but the econobox image persisted, and the dealer network was slow to embrace performance. The quality of the bigger cars fell off badly after 1966. AMC fell behind and never caught up in sales. I had two Rambler Americans, both '68s, a two-door sedan and a four-door wagon, both with the 199 and automatic. They were great little cars, always reliable, fantastic heaters, legitimate room for six inside. I also had a '68 Amabassador SST with a 343 4-barrel which ran quite well. I wish the company had survived. I loved those cars!

Rogue

Rouge is the French word for red. Rogue is the name of the car.

I am sure he told his girlfriend that one inch make didn't a difference on him getting in easily or not.

I don't know why you would consider a much smaller brand the competitor. Better off going after the Nova. The AMC is better looking. I own a '65 Corvair so what do I know.

You know, if Chevrolet had put out this sale promo presentation, their entry would have won, hands down!

The front end of that Rambler looks like it was copied on latter models of Valiant/Dart 😂

Head room one inch, is that what his wife calls him?🤔😉

Rouge is make up for a woman's face. What you meant to put in the headline is Rogue.

I've owned both both the valiant both the valiant was better but rambler was faster

Tell us again about the Valiant dual circuit brake system? Oh. You didn't mention it. Why not? Didn't catch that. You were mumbling. What about the American's?

I think I’ll stick with my Hyundai Sonata. Thanks.

I'd just like to say that BEEP! I'd go with the Rambler if BEEP! only because I always BEEP! root for the underdog and BEEP! AMC was always fighting against the Big Three. BEEP! They put up a good fight, but in the end it was just too much for them, I guess. It's a shame, really. PS: BEEP!

Rambler is better looking

AMC is the best more reliable in every way

This, of all of the mopar comparisons on here, definitely seems to have the weakest list of advantages.

Not funny! Siblings are a "Pain" when throwing attitude,😮😬🤔😆😆😆🦊

That Valiant is ugly! If torsion bars were so great name me one car today that has them! This commercial is grasping at straws!

1:00 uh. His back is bent more. An inch is not that much. 🫤
