History Ramblers as trad rods or customs

OK Rambler guys ,whip out those pictures and stories---nothing after 65 please---don't want to see those cool old NASHES from the 20's and 30's---RAMBLERS ONLY PLEASE ...

 

I had this one a few years back as a daily driver. If I can call it a custom, it was a very, very mild one.

Paint was more a greeny grey than the photo shows, flake on the wheels, shaved trim, dropped about 5 inches. In it's later years copped a inj motor for drivability.

 

miss this one..

I'm confused Mr. Black .This thread will be awesome but I thought you grew up hating Ramblers .Are you trying to change your ways?If so Congrats.

 

don't hate any brand---like to downplay amc for fun---this all started when i said why save 4 door ramblers, i still don't get it...

 

There weren't any, mostly.

 

Why not? How many Ramblers do you see vs. comparable cars from the big 3? I think any car from a fallen manufacturer is worthy of saving.

 

looks a lot like one a friend had a few years back....

 

Well said garvinzoom

 

Voted.

 

Does this count??? It's a 1957 Nash Rambler. Pretty kool!!!

 

Damn Speedon that looks awesome.

 

I wish it were mine. I met this guy and his wife last year at a few shows. If I remember correctly it may have a different frame under it. It's super cool looking in person. I don't think I've ever seen a 4 door Rambler get so much attention, but this one is well deserved. It certianly draws people in and the owner and his wife have a lot of fun with the car. Hopefully it will be at Torque Fest in Iowa.

 

That one looks like fun. Whats in it? Please dont say sbc...

 

Here's mine (actually wife's driver soon). Bought from "Toast" on here. Very nice body, glass and trim - engine, as we knew, was eh, toast ;- )

So, sent off to FatMan for a complete suspension front rear. Plus a 5.3LS/4L80E, disc brakes, etc. Next, wiring, paint and interior.

Rendering is the goal.

 

Maybe, but they ugly and about as sporty as a correctional shoe!

 

I have a '61 Rambler Ambassador ... no pics of it on me tho. It's for sale if anyone is interested.

 

My 62' convert and 61' wagon which I sold.

 

Very cool dkendall

 

indeed...

 

Any others out there ?
