Rambler Ranch 

13 VINTAGE CARS WITH VINTAGE CLOCKS, RAMBLER RANCH REALLY ROCKS

Thanks for sharing Dennis!! 👍🏿

I about had a seizure in the beginning of this video to see a whole herd of Hornets - my first car was a 76. You go guys!

Had a friend in the early 70's that had a late 50's Rambler. He pointed out that the seats were super comfortable, and could be turned into a bed. Thumb up for the memories.

Why do I love these Ramblers so much????

My first car was a 1965 Rambler Ambassador 880. I loved it! Thx for your channel.

Wow! An awesome collection of Nash and Rambler cars! I wish I could've been there to see them personally.

It's great to find out about a place like this. The Rambler Ranch has been added to my bucket list of places to visit. I always loved AMC cars and even owned a few many years ago.

As a kid in 1962, one evening we went to Lakeview Motors in Woodcliff Lake, NJ. Can't remember if it was that night or a few days later, but we had a Brand New Car! A 1962 Rambler American station wagon! Dark Blue, except for the roof, which was white. Weird star wheel controlled tailgate window holder-upper, Flat head 6, autotrans, no radio. I remember going with my Dad to get the radio put in at the Car Radio place in Hackensack, NJ at Anderson & River!!! Dad had seat belts added, the car didn't come with them, and a 4-way flasher unit - Grey pointy knob on a maroon case hanging from the dash to the right of the wheel. A few days or weeks later, our next door neighbor came home with 62 Rambler American station wagon. Their's was all dark blue and had "3 on the tree" for their trans. Our Rambler never liked trips to "The Country" to see my Gradparents and would seem to breakdown at least once a summer on the way there. It stopped running around 1970 and when I tried to bring it to life to be "my car" around 1973, the poor engine was rusted solid. Another neighbor, had a 59 Rambler Classic station wagon, a larger car with a different body style and at least 2-toned paint scheme, maybe three, I seem to remember Black, White & Pink.

I remember about 20 years ago, riding the school bus and one of the houses on the route had a Rambler Marlin sitting out under a pine tree. IIRC it was white with a black or brown stripe down the middle. Always liked that fastback design on that car!

Back in the 60s a friend's family had a 58 or 59 Ambassador with the 327 V-8 and factory A/C. That big boxy thing surprised many a sportier car with it's acceleration. And the trunk would hide 2 or 3 teenagers who would come inside through the folding rear seat after 2 others would pay to get into the drive-in movie.

ROAD TRIP!!!!! Its only 8hr away..550miles.. We had 3 or 4 Ramblers as a kid....I always loved them because they were different....I'd love to have one again..

In 64 my buddy and me cruised around in Atlanta in his Nash metropolitan convertible. We must have looked like a couple of dorks but we loved it

I had a 68 Ambassador Wagon with the 343...paid $35 for it and original owner threw in a set of new snow tires lol....and then noticed it was low on gas and gave me $10 back. So I actually paid $25 bucks......car had no rust..55k miles...ran great.....that was 1981....my AMC story...

You have a great collection. It's nice to see some one restore and collect and preserve an automaker that is no longer. These cars are wonderful and have a lot of unique and advanced features. My parents purchased new in '67 white AMC Rambler Rebel SST.

Styling is what sold cars in the 50s and the Big 3 had lots of money to spend on sheet metal. Nash had some good or clever ideas, but car buyers wanted pizzazz. Nash did not have it. That is some of their appeal today.....they are unique. Thanks for this visit to the Ranch. Believe you could spend a month there making videos.

Fabulous. Thanks. UK

One of my neighbors had a black and white Nash Metropolitan. My father had a 1953 Nash, tan body with a maroon top which he bought used. He eventually sold it and bought a brand new 1960 Rambler station wagon, pink with a white top. Both cars were six cylinders with a three speed manual transmission.

Never mind these being two beautiful examples of Nash cars, the features and the paint, and the bodies, and the lights and the interiors are just fantastic pieces of design work. Nash was ahead of their time.

These were unique American cars, it great to see them in their glory.

My Dad had a Rambler. Loved the way it drove and was very “Art Deco” in design. I miss riding with him in that beautiful car.

An awesome collection. Thank you for bringing this to our screens and thank this gentleman for his work and passion.

Damn, I love these beautiful works of art...especially the '57.

What a great collection of cars. I love the Rambler station wagons. Older cars were manufactured very well. They seemed to last longer.❤️

He's gotta have the greatest job in the world. Dennis is my idol

I had a '59 Rambler Cross Country (station wagon) in the same color scheme as the Ambassador shown here. 3-speed manual plus Borg Warner 2 speed overdrive. Went a lot of places in my college days in that car. Apart from normal maintenance, I had no issues with the car; my only unusual expense was replacement of the shredded front driver seat cover. Good mileage by the standards of the day.

As a teen I inherited a '59 Rambler Wagon. Tose fold down seats got a workout.

My dad loved his Nash and Rambler products...I was embarrassed as a young hotrod Ford guy! Now I'm a geezer and wish I had one of them!!!

A very informative and good video on a car of the past. Wished Rambler was still around.

I like the 55, the colour and everything about it.

My father owned a 1954 Statesman Super. Despite owning Chryslers, Cadillacs and Lincolns in later years, he said he never owned a better driving car than his 1954 Nash. I owned a 1973 AMC Javelin and a 1981 AMC Concord.

I worked on quite a few rambler 6 cylinders and when running correctly they run smooth as glass.

I had a 1970 Ambassador 390 4 door. It blew EVERYTHING off the road!

Those Nash cars were amazing for a little kid who grew up in the 1950s.

Awesome thanks

Cool Ranch! I loved AMC. My 1st drive was my Mother's 1972 Javelin sst w/304 auto. I bought my own 72 after discharge from the Navy. A 72 Javelin w/3spd 304. My Dad had an Ambassador 84? w/the big grill. My last Javelin was a 73 w/4spd and a 360. Had to let it go 10 years ago. Also had a few Eagle wagons. Great cars.

A Rambler with a continental kit-----pure 1950's.

The yellow 1955 Nash is a good looking car.

Any car of this period will drive way better and get more mpg with radial tires. The ride will be a little stiffer, but with a big heavy car it's not an issue. The radials will also last two or three times as long. Bias ply tires used to last about 10K miles. However there are no radials with as high a proportion of height to width so in order to not lower the car and gear down in effect you have to get bigger wheels, and then obviously incorrect wheel covers. On my '62 Lincoln I got later 15" wheels and wheel covers from about 1972 and removed the black plastic in the centers to approximate the look of the originals. They ended up looking right even if they weren't actually. I had to get the biggest tallest radials available, used on cars like '80's or so Cadillacs. The speedometer stayed exactly correct, so the tires were exactly the same in effect as the originals.

Holy shit, all those restorations are so well done

My family never had a Nash. Neighbor had a "Machine" tho. Ramblers rule 👍

I learned to drive in a '52 Nash Rambler. Great car and I had a lot of fun driving it. It was very well made.

I and members attending our national HET (Hudson-Essex-Terraplane) Club meet at Colorado Springs, CO in 2015 were invited for a day to visit the Rambler Ranch. We were all impressed with this fascinating museum of mostly Nash, Rambler, American Motors Cars and associated memorabilia (dealer signs, model cars, you name it!) neatly assembled in several large buildings not to mention a lot of "parts cars" and potential restorations stored outdoors. I was really surprised to see one smaller building displaying Kelvinator stoves and refrigerators (the company was once known as Nash-Kelvinator). Oh yes, there was at least one American Motors built Hudson Hornet on display. Well worth a visit if you can arrange it. Thanks, MyClassicCarTV, for sharing your visit to this remarkable auto collection!

i love the old not a ford or chevy cars, growing up my dad always drove a nash, hudson, studebaker, packard, or something out of the ordinary. we had several hudsons, i remember a 49 we had with an assisted shift mechanism, it had vacuum solenoids that would pull the shifter through the gear once you applied a little pressure, and several of the cars, for sure the older studebakers, had a brake lock, or hill lock was correct name, when you pulled up to stop on a hill, you depressed the clutch and brake at the same time, the clutch pedal had a little tab on the side that depressed a button/valve and you could release the brake pedal and brakes were locked until you let off the clutch. way ahead of its time there, don't even have that on new cars. one thing dennis or the owner didn't mention when discussing the seats, nash literature stated that when you let the seats down into a bed, it was the same size as a full size bed and all your sheets and bedding would fit. i know this was correct because i drove one when i was in the military and slept lots of nights in that car.

Какая же красота!! Просто потрясающе, восхитительно!! Второй автомобиль напомнил мне нашу Чайку ГАЗ 13: на решётке такие стилизованные крылья золотистые, а главное рамка лобового стекла!! Такое ощущение, что газовцы увидели эту американскую машину и решили, что на Чайке будет именно такая же, широкая, фигурная рамка лобового стекла!!

My Uncle had a Rambler and we had 8 people in that beast of a car.

The Rambler Ranch And Terry are Amazing What a Nice Cool Guy Love this Episode 😎😀😊

Mr father had a 1967 Rambler DPL Ambassador, most Beautiful car I'd ever seen!

Bruce Springsteen should have written a song about the Rambler Ranch. Glad to see these nice cars weren't buried halfway in the ground as those Cadillacs were in Texas.

I love the body style and the color of the 1955.

When I was a kid in the 50s UK someone in our neighbourhood had an Austin Metropolitan. I also had a toy Nash Rambler.

good product

That museum is really something. How in the world did a guy so young amass such a fortune in cars?

I luv ramblers

Nash/AMC had a large export market in the UK and Australia. They centered the dashboard so they could move the steering wheel to the right side with a minimum of special parts.

I would love to see the Rambler Ranch someday! Thank you for the great video.

Very special look about it. Never seen this one before, but I saw a bit of the Rambler hornet in Australia

Way cool. The good old days

If any of those were sold new in Devils Lake, North Dakota, they were probably from my granddad's dealership. Naturally, when I was a kid we had a '55 Ambassador (flesh and white). And my grandmother always drover a black Rambler.

My dad bought a 63 rambler classic brand new. It ran for a long time, little trouble. He read the magazine Motor Trend and saw it won their car of the year award-first year the car was “downsized”

❤Nash-Kelvinator !

It's kind of amazing how good those cars look now, but when they were 15 years old nobody wanted one. Dad was sort of into Ramblers. Mom always drove the good car, the one we used for vacations, and dad drove old cheap Ramblers and Nash. I've had a few myself, my favorite was a 64 American with a flat head six and overdrive. I guess Rambler was the last car maker to still sell a flat head. I remember dad bought a almost new (amc) Rambler American station wagon that had been lightly hit in the back, and probably spun around. It was a painting contractor's car, and the entire interior was covered in paint. I can't imagine what the owner looked like after the wreck. Somehow dad got it looking like new again, fixed the body damage, and drove it for years. I don't recall how he got the paint cleaned up inside.

Complete with quadruple curb feelers to protect those wide whitewall tires.

I had a 62 Rambler American in pink with gray interior. I loved that car.

Love this car, ahead of its time! Use the Nash in TV series of Superman....,

The AMC Marlin is a fantastic lookin ride, I love that fastback body style....👍

I wish I could reproduce the 1957 Nash..so tantalizingly rare..

Interesting to see cars I've never seen before. They could be in a movie.

Nothing smoked like a Rambler, except maybe an old chainsaw.

I think I remember Lois Lane driving a Nash Metropolitan ... A local mechanic put a corvette engine in one in my neighborhood a bunch of years ago.

i just got a 1963 2dr. amc rambler 990 classic ambassador 327 5.4l v8 one of 43 made.

My first car- a '63 three on the tree Rambler sedan, shamefully I abused it, needed a ring job bad. One night coming home from my buddy's house I ran out of gas while almost making it to the top of the last hill to home. I put her in low, cranked the starter and made it to the top and literally coasted into my drive way. The thing I hated most was the windshield wipers- vacuum actuated and every time I shifted gears they would pause- drove me nuts. I killed it one day when oil light came on, I ignored it and the engine froze up, gave it away to another guy who rebuilt it for his brother just getting out of the service, got myself a '64 Gran Prix, I Loved that muscle beast but within a year (1969) got my draft notice and went Navy, had to sell it to pay off the note. Married my wife that same year, drove her Volkswagen Beetle until I seperated- oh how far the mighty had fallen. ☺

Nothing like an American Fifties Car.

blew my mind,but I have to admit I love all your videos,really thank you for the feast,awesome.

Loved the '57 custom..what a gorgeous car.

I remember in 1968 my cousin had a Nash Metropolitan with a paint scheme like your 55. Cool little car.

Your amazing 👏 55 rambler also.

AMC made very good cars, but was such a small company that it had no way to compete with the big 3.

great car ! American Motors were innovators in design.

From a few years ago but love the offering. Yellow and white drew me in. Guy i knew in HS ('73) had a Metro in this scheme. Got wrecked,sadly.

FANTASTIC!!! COOL VIDEO

Amazing! 👏

He's a ramblin man.

When I was 2 and 1960 my mother had one of these it was in a chartreuse color for lack of a better term I used to stick a swimming ring in the shape of an inner tube in the back bumper I used to stick a swimming ring in the shape of another tube in the back bumper to make it look like a continental kit the body literally rusted off at that it ran just perfect then we got a 58 Volkswagen bus that's a whole nother story

The 1955 and 1956 Ambassadors had optional Packard V-8's. With the Packard V-8, you also got the Packard Ultramatic transmission. This was a similar transmission to the Detroit Gear, which evolved into the Borg Warner automatic.

In high school driver's ed. I drove the Matador wagon no one else wanted to drive (mid 70's) because it wasn't 'cool'. It was very comfortable, and really nice to drive. I'd like to have one now. It was bright yellow with faux wood panels, and a soft brown interior.

I admit that the Nash featured looks better to me now than it did in the 60's

So Cool ! Thanks for this post .

Thumbs up as always bud.

That was pretty damn good!

Both cool cars. Love the 57.

Very fantastic

Wow 7 main bearings on that straight 6.

I like the idea of the Road Guide fenders. On most modern cars you can't tell where your corners are.

It’s beautiful !

I don't see the two most beautiful ramblers ever build, the 1967 ambassador DPL, and the 1967-68 rebel

They certainly didn't set the street on for most models but I remember some friends having a 1961 Ambassador Wagon with a 327 and I remember that thing was a fast acceleration car. When we would go on weekend trips with them, we kids could sleep in the back and we did not feel any bumps. You got a great value for your money. The Rambler Classic and American were the best low cost leaders in my opinion. It was very hard to compete with THE BIG THREE. Too bad.

Facinating

Lived 20 years in Colorado. Never knew about this guy.

Nothing is better than a Rambler Ambassador with its fully reclining bench seats. When I showed it to my girlfriend way back then her eyes opened stricken wide as she said: "don't show that to my dad!" Best design ever, we crossed Canada in it without stopping at a motel or setting up a tent!
