1962 Rambler American. Santa Barbara, Calif.

 
Unrestored original. The metal strips atop the window frames..perhaps deflected the wind on the Pasadena Freeway when cranking alone with windows down at...what? 60mph? The American has a kinda Volvo 240 look, doesn't it?  We posted The Rambler, the Sommelier and You by Bruce Willard a while back. The Rambler American got a major makeover, a year or so later: we posted a 1964 Rambler American 440. And we caught a couple of Ramblers living rough on Deer Isle a while back. And an Ambassadorship for sale in Ellsworth Maine.
