the Rambler catalog of 1909 included pages of parts that you could order, in a very user friendly, organized way

 Look at the goofy flying wing looking front fenders in that bottom car. That's nuts

I would love to have these in 2x3foot posters for my garage, but even cooler would be similar photos of the parts and part numbers of the Mopar blow up drawings relevant to my 69 Coronet R/T, and coincidentally, I know that I have a full set, but in a catalog, and not blown up to the size I'd like. Not yet. Koller Dodge sold a catalog for the restoration parts business that they did on the side, their main business was new car sales.

Rambler trivia

Above a Bently barn find and below is a Rambler American

First cruise of the season in Escondido

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra

Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well

Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

1967 Rebel station wagon regional models

The Mariner (600 units) in Barbados blue with panels trim of simulated bleached teakwood planking accented by narrow black horizontal stripes and a "nautical anchor" medallion. The interior featured anchors and stars decorating dark blue suede bolster panels of the seats, which also had white piping and broad horizontal pleated inserts of medium blue antelope grain vinyl and was sold along the coastal regions of the United States.

Above, the Mariner

Below the Westerner

The Westerner (500 units) in Frost White with plankwood trim side inserts and a "Pony Express" medallion. The interior featured stallion brown vinyl that simulated "richly tooled" leather on the seats and door panels in combination with white antelope grained vinyl and was available west of the Mississippi River.

The Briarcliff (400 units) in Matador Red with simulated black camera grain side panels and "regal" medallions, as well as its own black "antelope grain" vinyl interior. The Briarwood was marketed in major markets in the east and south.

Designed to spur interest in all of AMC's products and to generate increased sales for the company, the special wagons were limited for sale to geographical areas.

Have you seen a car made into a RV? someone really nailed it with this Rambler American in Argentina

This comes from Fosiles Mecanicos blogspot, and for a super easy way to read it (or any website) in your own language, use Google Chrome as a browser (it's a free download) and then you'll have no problem with translation.

I'm going to keep browsing through http://fosilesmecanicos.blogspot.com/ because Gabriel is finding cool stuff around his neighborhoods

Am I right about how well they made it look like a RV? It beats the hell out of the ShamRockAway for good looks http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/12/photos-of-unusual-from-days-gone-by.html

Heather's rare Rambler. She wanted a cool unusual car to go to car shows with !

That's the happy owner. Isn't it shocking to find a college age woman so enthusiastic about cool cars that she saved one from neglect, and gave it a new life !

One of about 2000 Deluxe models made, this came with the overhead valve engine, instead of the common flathead, and Heather became interested in finding something like a red Rambler she looked at during a Clairemont car show about a year or two ago. It cost about 6 thou on EBay, the second time it was listed (the first time the reserve was not met during bidding) and since then, almost everything has been rebuilt or replaced... and all for under 20 thou. Closer to 18 for the car, total upholstery at Jim's on Armour in Kearny Mesa, engine and trans rebuilt, and lots of paint (I've got to ask again who did the paint so well and at a good price) and chrome.

Future improvements (not that you or I could tell any are needed) will be some exhaust, and trim.
