The Ambassador was American Motors’ fanciest passenger automobile from 1958 to 1974. In the first half of the 1960s, it was more like a swanky Classic that rode on a mid-size platform in 1963-64. But for 1965-66, AMC would… more»

Same Owner 47 Years! 1965 Rambler Marlin
Looking to capitalize on the youth movement of the mid-1960s, American Motors introduced the Rambler Marlin in 1965 based on the mid-size Classic. Styling-wise, it looked like a cross between the 1964 Plymouth Barracuda (also a “fishy” name) and… more»
