I grew up with a dad who was a Rambler fan. Learned to drive in a Rambler. Loved those front and rear "wing windows"!! You could open both front+rear wing windows and it was a comfortable temperature without wind blowing on you. (Miss them on cars today!) You could lay back of front seats flat-making it a bed, which we did on camping trips. Sooo many memories of growing up in a Rambler family. Thanks for posting.
My 1950 had the six- which had seven main bearings and OHV, it had 2 sp hydramatic(cast iron housing) plus two-spd automatic overdrive (vacuum operated). it would go 95 all day long on
The “Kenosha Duesenberg!” Had to laugh. Having been made in Kenosha myself, I found this very interesting as my parents certainly knew many people who worked for Nash. Cool to learn about the entire historical lineup. Thanks!
As a teenager in the 70s I bought a 66 ambassador for a few hundred dollars. The rear end blew out and a friend replaced it from a part from a junk yard. I recall the drive shaft was in a torque tube.
Thanks for a great history lesson on the Ambassador nameplate ! I had no idea that it went back that far . & AMC carried quite a few legendary marques nameplates that merged into what AMC became . Thanks for the video , & the origins of this fine automobile , & nameplate well done.
