Love it I had a 1960 Rambler Cross country wagon with the same color scheme & interior. I picked it up from the paint shop about 15 years ago. The video is over 20,000 views on TH-cam. Sold it in Portland, Oregon to a gentleman from New York City.
Here in Southern California I just saved one from the scrapyard. It’s black really clean body on it. But it’s been off the road for a very long time. I’m gonna get it back on the road.
Dad had a 64 Rambler American - much smaller car - but with award winning very clean Dick Teague styling (check it out) in turquoise. Signature feature was AC (bought in Florida). Almost no compacts had AC then, and when we moved to MD, a lot of the neighbors didn't have it in their larger cars either. AC was no longer super expensive, but it was still 18% of the base price of the American; and people didn't put them in compacts, or even intermediates that much then. That would change with the intermediates by the late 60's, but there were still a lot of non-AC compacts running around in the 70's.
I had a 1960 Rambler Six Custom 'Country Club', which was the rare 4-door hardtop. These cars ride like you're riding on a cloud, yet they're easy to park. A car clearly ahead of it's time.
my dad had 60 rebel. got crushed in the late 70s but we saved the engine and trans (3 speed o/d). I found a 59 custom assybmeled a a car out of the 2 in the late 79s. the engine has 480,00 miles. i drive it regularly. It's cute, gets good mileage, the engine has a solid lifter cam that has been reground .4.030 pistons and has hidden the speedo needle. Dad cut out the louvers in the dash so a coke can would fit in one side. in the early 60s he would drive from Lubbock to Albuquerque in 3 hours in the rebel.
My neighbor told me her husband bought one of these new because she was learning to drive and this car had the push button shift and thought it would be easy for her to drive
Love this, the car, the 8 cyl the colors the options and most of all the unmolested originality of it, sadly, my 56 Plymouth Savoy 4drs takes up space in my 1 1/2 car garage.
The 54 Pontiac was the first GM car with integrated-in-the-dash Factory Air. The 53 Nash was the first car of any make with in-dash factory Air. Other cars put the evaporator in the trunk for factory Air.
For real? I have seen the trunk mounted in 54 Mercs and Fords. They said Novi on them, and I have seen under-dash units, but never any in-dash units on those cars.
@@scrambler69-xk3kv That is correct. AMC / Nash was the first car to have the air conditioning system all up-front. We can thank AMC's Kelvinator division for that.
If the vaccum pump on the fuel pump was working correctly, you could floor it going up a hill and the wipers would not stop. It's all in the maintenance.
Beautiful Rambler!!!! Love the color combination!!!!

beautiful example, thanks for showing
Wish I still had my 60 rambler ambassador 327 with a work engine. Used to clean up at the time in the early 60s. They didn’t see me coming.

Nice Styling and I liked the R in the Wheel Covers 😊

1960 final year of four-door hardtop for AMC.
Beautiful ! Thanks for sharing.
I find 1960 Ramblers fascinating cars.
When I was a kid, our next door neighbor owned the Rambler dealership. They had IH for their trucks.

God almighty! Awesome! Such a treasure!
I really like this car. I am a serious buyer in Canada. I'll call you. Cheers 🇨🇦
Beautiful Rambler like the color. Mint. To bad you didn't show the motor!
Dashboard is very easy to look at 😊
Note AM air conditioning chrome badge on driver's door. Carried over from Nash/Hudson.
Es un Rambler precioso, me encanta es un carro muy bello, alegre.

Great video! Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
The family car in 1960 was a Rambler Cross Country wagon. It was a nice car but it only had the six so it wasn't very exciting.
I had a ‘58 same model back in the day!

Rear style resembles a Humber.

1954 Mercury had in-dash Air!
Yes but AMC had all of the components under the hood, unlike GM which had some components in the trunk.

Sixty was only year with split front bumper design.
I had a 1961. I hated the vacuum wipers. Going up hill I had a choice. I could go up the hill or see .not both.

It's a shame that the kids sold out to dodge, just because they wanted the 4 w drive
