Rambler Ranch
США
Добавлен 1 июл 2023
Rambler Ranch, the largest collection of Nash, Rambler and AMC vehicles in the world, is located in beautiful Elisabeth, Colorado. Tours are available (call 303-324-6750) throughout a good portion of the year, where you can enjoy the curated collection of 850 cars, not only from Nash/AMC, but other makes as well, all documenting the uniquely American love affair with the car, and giving a sense of actually living during the long era of the 20th Century. This channel contains historical video and audio from the three companies, deemed significant because they are available nowhere else.

Do you like the Marlin Mrs. Campbell? Of course you do! The Marlin is really popular with the ladies. Anywhere your husband goes, he's sure to grab the attention of the single women. Not like the Ambassador, which will only impress Mr. Campell's boss and make him remember the name Campbell the next time a promotion becomes available. Oh, what's that? You want to look at the Ambassador? Well, it's a little more expensive, but I'm sure you'll be the envy of all the other housewives for having a husband that can afford such things.
I had never seen a Marlin in person until I recently visited the Rambler Ranch. I had always thought they looked odd in photos. Once I saw them in person, I fell in love. They are marvelously unique! As someone once told me, the exterior design only matters until you buy the car. Once it’s yours, the interior is what matters because that’s where you spend your time. The Marlin interior is wonderful … and, as I said, I grew to love the exterior once I saw it in person.
The interior is nice. AMC always had good interiors.
The front end on the 65 and 66 Marlins screamed "Suddenly, it's 1960, again!". The 1967 model was much better.
Too much, way too late!
A swinging fastback
You seem like a Miata or a Volkswagen Cabriolet prospect.
I loved the Rambler!
here in Texas now days Its hard to give away a car with out A/C.
I regularly drive a 59 Rambler. The A/C still works. with the original Borg Warner compressor. It only has 493k miles on it. Door seals are not all that swift. R134a works on it. my Dad Added an extra fan to the system. the coils on the evaporator get to 38 degrees f. outside air temp is 100+ here in Texas.
That was fun!
Those 65s are just my style. One of Rambler’s best years!
1:50 I'm surprised that hardtops caught on this late. They were pushing them in the 1950s, but I guess that was just for the high-end models. They didn't have many practical advantages, were obviously more dangerous in a rollover, and were more prone to leaks, squeaks and rattles, but they looked cool. I've always thought a "fake hardtop" with the B pillars a bit back from the frameless glass, would have had some of the appeal of a hardtop with better body integrity, but the closest thing I can name were the "colonnade hardtops" of the early 1970s.
Didn't know Mae West sold Ramblers.
Upselling is as old as selling
RUclips premium for example?
Come sit behind the wheel said the spider to the fly! lol 😉
Today's automakers: "You can have any exterior color as long as it's red, white, black or a shade of gray and any interior color as long as it's black or gray." Car makers spend so much money on technology, while neglecting the appeal of different exterior and interior colors.
Bee Bop!
I have 165 restored it 36 years ago neglected it restoring it for the second time my stepfather's first brand new car to paint on it last week
I got 165 restore it for the second time it's not too long shame on me
In 71,I bought a 65 Ambassador 990 sedan. It had a 327, power steering, power disk brakes, air conditioning and a three speed with overdrive. It was a great car in pristine condition. I had it for about six months and then, like an idiot, I traded it in for a 68 Rebel SST. I should have kept that brown and white sedan, but I thought that Rebel was cooler. It had bucket seats.
I was eleven when the Marlin came out and intensely interested in cars. I don't remember thinking it was too big, I never saw one next to a Mustang. But I do remember hating that parabolic side window shape. And the front end had the same look at the Classic, just like the first Barracudas had the same front end as the Valiant. That did not contribute to appealing to young buyers. My rejection of it was based on a very superficial reaction, but curb appeal is important in selling cars, just like with houses.
My neighbors on both sides drove Ramblers. My uncle drove them as well and loved them. My uncle had a 1966 Classic 770 4 door sedan. What a sweet running car it was with the 232 six.
@4:55 they actually offered a flathead engine on a '65 car, are you kidding me?!
Nope! I owned one!!
The turning point, indeed. This was the year Roy Abernethy decided to move the Rambler line upmarket with "3 different sizes, 3 different wheelbases, 7 spectacular engines" because he wanted to "get rid of the old Rambler image." The sad part was it completely undid the effort to consolidate the American, Classic and Ambassadors onto two wheelbases and two sizes, with the Classic exclusively a six and the Ambassador exclusively a V-8. Between these changes and the addition of the Marlin, AMC was nearly out of business by mid-1967...
One of each, please as I can't decide since they all look so glamorous, stylish, and excellent! 😃 (Insert "Just Take My Money!" meme here) 😄 (and, no, I Will NOT be trading in my 1960 Rambler Super) 😅
I completely forgot that Rambler still offered a flathead 6 in the '65 American. Someone tell me, was that the last flathead offered on a U.S. car?
The very last! The "Super Flying Scot" engine dated back to the original 1950 Nash Rambler!
@@gcfifthgear Although not powerful, I believe it had been a good engine for Nash/Rambler for its apparent 15 year run. Thanks for the info.
I’ll take a Classic 770-H coupe and a 770 Classic Cross Country, please.
Narrator is the incomparable Gary Owens ❤
My parents had the Classic 770 4-door with the 287 V-8. The color was Barcelona Taupe. They had a 1963 Classic before that, and I thought the fit and finish and general quality control was better on the earlier car. 1963 was the year the Rambler Classic won Motor Trend's Car of the Year, likely because it was such a radical departure from the previous boxy and mundane looking cars they'd been making. The wagon interiors were nice because the cargo area was carpeted and looked kinda classy.
My parents had a 1963 Rambler Classic station wagon... It was a great dark blue with a light blue interior. One of the selling points was the "car of the year" designation. It never seemed that there was any problem with the car and I loved the back fold down seats and the joy of going to the drive-in movie with my parents and comfortably falling asleep on the back of the car with my siblings. That 1963 Rambler is part of my fondest memories of childhood!
First time I've ever heard "glamorous" and "Rambler" in the same sentence.
All cars are also equipped with the desirable "magenta shift"!
Yes, they were good cars.
Our neighbor bought a dark brown with tan interior 770 wagon with a 287 in it. I remember their oldest son drove it to Virginia to the naval base after joining the navy. Mom and dad bought a new 1968 AMC Ambassador sedan. Crazy thing is, sales were actually down twelve percent over 1964 with these new restyled Ramblers.
the redesigned 1965 Chevrolet had something to do with the sales decline. Ramblers were good values and had solid engineering, but the competition (the Big Three) had an impressive lineup.
All the Big Three cars had totally new full-size models (Ford, Chevy and Plymouth), and the mid-size field was tougher than ever with the Chevelle, Tempest, F-85 and Special, Fairlane, and cleverly repositioned Coronet and Belvedere models. Not to mention a little number from Ford called the Mustang...and the spectacular repositioning of the AMC lineup turned off the traditional Rambler buyer while failing to win sales from the competition...
The Big Three had large advertising revenues. I don't recall seeing any Rambler commercials on TV until they dropped the Rambler name for AMC.
@@bferguson9277 RUclips has a episode of the extremely short-lived nighttime soap opera "Our Private World" (a spinoff of "As The World Turns"). The opening billboard shows a line drawing of the 1965 Rambler Marlin and a Marlin commercial at the first commercial break
I drove an AMBASSADOR across Australia from Melbourne to Perth in 1978,no problems except no heating.
In the poster in the background: "The Sensable Spactaculars" That about sums it up--dorky looking cars that were really good cars.
AMC's attempt at flash and dash did not sit well with traditional Rambler customers and it failed to bring in new ones. Trying to match the big three model for model was impossible given their size. It has often been said that GM lost more cars through the cracks then AMC built. By 1967 AMC had to take out emergency loans to pay its bills. Unsold cars piled up in their lots production dropped 12 per cent. Annual loses were 76 million dollars which was considered an astronomical sum at the time. The Marlin never was a big seller as it was meant to be on a much shorter wheelbase of the American rather than the Classic. But management wanted it to be a six seater. and it threw the design out of proportion. Shame because now you read all of this love for the company but where were customers at the time?
The Marlin was the beginning of the end for AMC. They started to disconnect from their core market that trusted AMC for cheap, basic transportation, or, as dad called them, "cars for people who don't care about cars."
The car shown with stacked headlights is a 66 model
1965 and 1966 Ambassadors both had stacked headlights. The easiest way to tell the difference is the 1966 had chrome trim on the front corner of the front fenders about six inches long while the 1965 the front fenders were plain.
@@scrambler69-xk3kv My dad had a 66 ambassador wagon.327 white ,blue interior.Was a good car.Got my drivers license in it.Had cold ac.
I’ll take a Classic Cross Country please.
I remember drilling holes in the firewall in order to change the leaking 'freeze plug' in the back of the block on old Ramblers. Not bad cars, not good cars. (then again, not many - if any - cars back then were actually 'good' by today's standards.)
AMC made a good product in the 1960s. Their market was people who saw cars as transportation, not as personal statements.
I sure do miss my 65 Classic 770 2drHT. White/blue 6/stick. Had it in ‘98/‘99. Built very well. Even had front disc brakes. The bad part, torque tube coil sprung rear with panhard bar. I really wanted to do a V8 swap but having no frame (unibody), I was stuck using that rear end. Once the transmission grenaded, I sold it.
That Classic has almost an export look with its' fancy wheelcovers on blackwall tires.
This one reminded me of the 60s era Personna razor blade commercials. ruclips.net/video/5AnEIlKjyHQ/видео.html
Typical Rambler customer: old guy in hat. In 1965 a GM car was much more attractive. The babe in the stupid hat would look so much better in a GTO or Impala
yeah ok.....
Most guys in the 1960's white color people especially wore hats like him.
We put a British diesel engine in one. Called it Marlin Perkins.
Did it get a TV show?
Where's the semi nude models???????
