Re: [MBZ] '65 Rambler American 440 3 speed convertible

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

First car I remember my parents owning was a 4-door Rambler American
sedan. I think they bought it the year I was born, and kept it until I
was in middle school. They sold it to a neighbor who had a pizza
restaurant, and he used it as a delivery car. I think it lasted about a
month or two after that.

Being raised in a GM family, I always looked down my nose at anything AMC until 
my best friend’s folks bought a Gremlin that had (I think) a 302 V8 in it.

Holy mother of pearl would that thing go!
