AMC Rambler Flathead Inline 6 1958
General description :
Gateway classic cars is proud to present this 1958 AMC Rambler American in our Louisville Showroom. The Rambler American is an automobile manufactured by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) between 1958 and 1969. The American was the second incarnation of AMC's forerunner Nash Motors second-generation Rambler compact that was sold under the Nash and Hudson Motors marques from 1954 and 1955. The American can be classified in three distinct model year generations: 1958 to 1960, 1961 to 1963, and 1964 to 1969. During the entire length of its production, the car was sold under the Rambler brand name, and was the last Rambler named automobile marketed in the Canadian and United States markets. The compact Rambler American was most often the lowest priced car built in the U.S. It was popular for its economy in ownership, as was proven by numerous Mobil gas Economy Run championships. American Motors' designers gave the car a new grille and more open rear fender wells, giving the car a lighter appearance than that of the earlier car, which had hidden its rear wheels behind deeply skirted fenders. The original taillights were turned upside down, saving money on retooling. The car's seemingly narrow 55-inch (1,397 mm) track was not much different from the industry standard, but rather an illusion fostered by the bulbous bodywork. This stunning example has been repainted in the last year to this good looking Green and Pink exterior and the interior was done to match. This Rambler has plenty of chrome to go with the custom paint and turns heads every where it goes. This 1958 Rambler is sporting the original flathead 6 mated to the 3-speed manual. This car runs and drives like a dream and will take you right back to 1958 if you are not careful. Options on this 1958 Rambler include: Vinyl Seats, Aluminum Alloy Wheels and Radial Tires.
