You found my old car! Straight body, minimal cancer, 3-on-the-tree. I think I still have the original Rambler AM Radio in the garage somewhere. I wonder if the tires are still holding air... -Randy
You got it right, Ben. 1963 AMC Rambler 220. Original Flathead-6 engine. Even the spare tire has the "R" on the hubcap. Beautiful black steel dashboard. Wipers run (kinda) on vacuum.
I love this ugly car. This was the first car I remember: my late mother had one. Her's was not the 'three on the tree'- it was the luxury model... PUSHBUTTON transmission!!! Styled like a cast iron bathtub and with comparable performance. Mom had it for 12 years and the only problem was faded paint.
Best of OPC.
