I the late 70's my wife and I considered an AMC Gremlin for her. We ended up buying a Toyota Celica GT Liftback for her. She loved that car. Kept it for about 10 years then gave it to our son who totaled it a few years later.

Thanks BugsyPal, thanks alot!!!

Very interesting piece, but your little 4 minutes trip down memory lane sent me into a three hour internet extravaganza taking me to several places, including looking up the old VIN number on a couple of Chrysler products and a brother in law's old Fiat 124.

FYI: it was fun!!!

Once had a girlfriend with a 60s Rambler. Had a great feature you don’t find on cars today. You could decline the front bench seat back to form a bed with the back seat.

Ahh, 1960's Rambler with "cargo space for that family to come"...

Did AMC play around with what they knew would happen in many cases thanks to that fold down flat front seat?

What many do not know is that Jeep was an AMC brand for about a decade or so before Chrysler got their mitts on the name.

My Grandpa's last car was a 1959 Rambler Custom 4 dr sedan. It was almost identical to the Rebel and the Six, and a step below the Ambassador, Rambler's flagship sedan. My first car was a 1966 Rambler American, one of the better looking compact cars in the mid-1960s.
