      <description>1960 Rambler Super Series American Station Wagon

  "The 1959 Rambler American series was expanded to include a couple of two door station wagons. As the larger Rambler Six/Rebel and Ambassador wagons were offered only in four door versions, management believed there'd be little sales cannibalization from the American. Like the sedan, the wagon was built from 1955 dies and received the same modernizing styling touches. The 1960 Rambler American line grew further with a new body style and a third trim level. A four door sedan was added to all series, including the new top line Custom range." Howstuffworks.com

  For consignment, a 1960 Rambler Super Series American station wagon with a title verified 81,766 actual miles. 15,093 super series wagons were built in 1960, making them uncommon then and rare now. Want to make an impression at the next car show, check out this rare beauty that just arrived!

  Exterior
 Subject to some restoration in 2018, this car is a show stopper not only by its unique shape, but the outstanding two stage Chatsworth Green and Frost White accents. That white is reserved for the cabin pillars sandwiched between the roof and body. A roof rack shines brightly above while the side spear stops on the door and is picked up visually by the shoulder trim along the window edges. Out back, the wrap-around bumper is perfect and reverse lights are uniquely embedded in the rear hatch, flanked by simple tail lights capping the widened fenders. The Nash vibe is strong in the front where the pursed lip grille is bookended by single round headlights, underscored by another tight, wrap around chrome bumper, and topped by a modest ornament. The 15-inch wheels have proper coverings and wear staggered size tires. A paint chip on a door corner, a paint run, and very minor bubbling make our list of imperfections on this outstanding exterior.

  Interior
 Aqua and white continues on the inside where stitched white vinyl is framed in smooth green panels. The same could be said about the split bench up front, primarily white with green sides and center strip, appropriate design for a car just leaving the 50's. Contouring around the inner fender wells is the rear bench, in the same color and material with the clean design we see in modern diners trying to be 50's retro, and it works well. Rambler simplicity is evident up front where the two spoke steering wheel fronts a white dash with a single gauge. To the right, a metal faceplate houses an AM radio with a large tuning knob and a simple clock. More standard knobs under the dash along with an added AM/FM/CD player, all over low pile gray carpet and under a white headliner with aqua rails. The cargo area is nicely finished with gray carpet and a Thunder 3404 amplifier is attached to the back of the rear seat.

  Drivetrain
 The Chatsworth Green spills into the engine bay creating a show worthy space that houses a 196ci L-head inline six cylinder good for 90 horsepower and fueled by a 1-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a Flash-o-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the rear axle with 3.31 gears.

  Undercarriage
 Plenty of surface rust where the rubber meets the road, on the underside. But otherwise clean and dry conditions prevail with the only gleaming liquid being some sling from the front U-joint. Drum brakes are supplied to all four wheels and suspension consists of coil springs up front and leaf springs in back. The single exhaust runs through a stock style muffler and exits out back via a chrome tip.

  Drive-Ability
 The six banger starts right up and the airy cabin is a nice place to be with the color scheme eliciting a bright and cheerful mood. And that's what you'll get from onlookers too! Meanwhile, the car runs well with adequate power, great visibility, and straight tracking. The AM radio does not work, as noted by the consignor but all other functions, and there aren't many bells and whistles, operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

  Let's say you like the idea of a wagon, but find the Tri-Fives too big and mid-60's too square. Here's the perfect antidote, a smaller wagon that was touted for its fuel efficiency and this one has piles of eye appeal. If you want to be at car shows to catch up on your weekend reading, buy a standard Mustang or Corvette. But if you're ready to address the throngs of people who will want to know more about this car, this is the one for you!

      <description>1964 Rambler 770 Classic

  The Rambler Classic is an intermediate sized automobile that was built and sold by American Motors Corporation from the 1961 to 1966 model years.  The Classic took the place of the Rambler Six and Rambler Rebel V-8 names, which were retired at the end of the 1960 model year.  Introduced a six-passenger four-door sedan and station wagon versions, additional body styles were added.  Two-door models became available as a "post" sedan in 1963 as well as a sporty pillarless hardtop.  The 1964 model year Classics were refined with stainless steel rocker moldings, a flush single-plane aluminum grille replacing the previous year's deep concave design, and oval tail lamps replacing the flush-mounted lenses of the 1963's.  Classics with bucket seats and a V8 engine could be ordered with a new "Shift-Command" three-speed automatic transmission mounted on the center console that could be shifted manually.  A new two-door model joined the line only available in the top 770 trim. The pillarless hardtop offered a large glass area, and "its sales were brisk".

  Styling courtesy the infamous Richard Teague, we have in our midst a breath of Classic 770 air in a straight steel bathed in black paint, has mirror-like trimmings, and a good interior.  We see very good overall condition, one of a suspected 2,900 built, quite possibly the only one in the good old US of A and runs just perfectly.  Breathe it in...deep breaths!

  Exterior
 This Classic has been restored and now sports rust free steel, well minded gaps, and all bathed in a respray of glossy black from the deep end of the paint pool.  A very simple line with few embellishments, gives this car an almost futuristic aero look.  With its horizontal ribbed and divided grille, flanked by a round headlight on either side and a pristine bumper below, it has an air of sophisticated utilitarianism.  A ribbed trim spear starts on each front quarter, covering the doors and finishing at the tail with a Classic emblem in your grandmother's script just below.  The new for 64 stainless rocker trim connects the wheel houses and on the back the simplicity continues with a pair of elongated oval tail lights and reverse lights in the shiny bumper below.  A nicely curved rear window is trimmed by shiny edging and wraps around the C pillar for a real greenhouse effect.  Passenger windows have nice trimmings as does the windshield.  Nice reverse dish wheel covers with finned centers and a badged italic R in the center are on and wrapped by thin whites on all 4 corners.  A few inclusions are noted in the paint, especially on the C pillars and some small hazing spots are seen on the hood.

  Interior
 As we swing the doors fully open, we see horizontal and vertical textures that dance together with chrome spears, all produced in vinyl and covering the door panels.  Oversized bucket seats with red horizontal tuck and roll stitched vinyl make up the seat inserts which are bordered by piping in red and smooth red vinyl bolsters all clean and pristine.  This pattern holds true for the rear bench, and these are floating in a sea of deep red carpeting very clean too!  The dash brings back great memories as the 1963 version of this car was this writer's college car courtesy my grandmother who had put only 21,000 miles on my car prior to me taking it over in 1978.  That car was a real hit, and this one is even nicer, so catch the wind to get over here.  I digress, though, and for the dash an elongated aluminum rectangle has a fanned-out speedometer in the middle flanked on the sides by the heater and wiper controls, all hiding under a red steel eyebrow.  The factory radio resides front and center in more ribbed aluminum and just below is a Rambler Canada badge to denote this car's assembly lineage.  A note to the trunk which is lined with like new vinyl and contains the spare and original jack and stand.

  Drivetrain
 A 287ci V8 is within the simple wide-open engine bay.  This engine is bathed in red along with the air cleaner and valve coverings.  It is topped with a 2-barrel carburetor and has a Borg Warner T-86E 3-speed manual transmission bolted to the back which is shifted by a stalk on the steering column. The rear axle is a 3.54 ratio.

  Undercarriage
 Up in the Classic Auto Mall air atop the lift, we can peruse the undercarriage, which has some patina, strong steel and is an early version of unibody construction.  Structurally sound, no rust, with drum brakes all around, and the typical independent coil spring suspension upfront, and a swing arm with coil spring designation on the rear.  Dual exhaust is on with Turbo style mufflers and looking good.

  Drive-Ability
 This car was a modern convenience drive far cry from my basic 63 flathead with vacuum wipers (a nightmare!).  It started right up and drove like it was on a cloud.  Strong acceleration, and smooth shifting from the Borg Warner, as well as bias free panic stopping from the drums all around.  All functions were working, and the radio turned on but received no stations.  Do they still broadcast in AM??!  Anyway, driving this car was a breeze, and that's no hot air.

  A well restored and nicely presenting model from the 1964 model year.  Clean paint and simplistic lines flow together to create a car looking akin to the Chrysler products of the same era at a much lower cost.    Few were built and hardly any made it stateside.  Step out of the ordinary with a piece of automotive history from Rambler and our friends to the North...the 1964 Rambler Classic.  Ahhhhh!  Fresh classic cool air...
