    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information

    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information Rambler Six and V8: 1955 – 1957 1955 Nash Rambler Six The 1955 Nash Rambler received a minor facelift over 1954, but was basically unchanged from the car issued in 1953, which was distinguished by a lowered hood, and enclosed front and rear fenders. That styling had been credited to Pinin Farina and did have many of the styling features of the 1952 and 1953 Golden Anniversary Ambassador and Statesman. (For more information on the 1953 Rambler, see the Tech Section on Nash vehicles). New for 1955 features included the addition of a cellular grille and full wheel cut-outs in the front fenders, versus the previous enclosed look. Ramblers came in two wheelbase models; 100" for the Standard 2- 1955 Rambler Cross Country Station Wagon. door and 4-door cars and 108" for "Custom" 2 and 4-door models as is the station wagon shown at right. As part of the merger, the Rambler was sold as the "Nash Rambler" and the "Hudson Rambler". See the discussion under Hudson Cars for more information. The 85 horsepower 184 cu. in. 6-cylinder engine of previous years was dropped and was replaced by the 90 horsepower 196 cubic inch engine, which had come on the Hydra-Matic equipped cars in 1953 and 1954. It now was the sole available powerplant. Rambler consistently held the No. 1 spot in used car value, as reflected in NADA reports of the time. As such, for 1955, 56,023 Nash Ramblers were sold. And when combined with Hudson Rambler sales, over 81 thousand were delivered to customers, which, at the time, was the highest total ever.

    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information

    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information Rambler Classic: 1961 – 1962 1961 Rambler Classic The Rambler was renamed "Classic" for 1961 to help create a stronger individual model identity. Thus, the "Rambler Six" and "Rebel V-8" names were retired at the end of the 1960 model year. The Classic was available with both 6 and V8 engines. An aluminum block version of the OHV 196 I-6 engine was an available as well. Ramblers featured "twin circuit" brakes, a safety design offered by only a few cars at that time and now mandated by DOT. 1961 Rambler Classic Six The 61 received a new front end featuring a one-piece rectangular, Super 4-Door Sedan extruded aluminum grille with "Rambler" at the bottom, just above the bumper. The parking/turn indicator lights were relocated to just below the front bumper. New front and rear bumpers were also used along with new side trim. DeLuxe Series standard equipment included turn signals; twin panel ash trays; air cleaner; front arm rests; cigar lighter; dual headlamps; dual sun visors. Station Wagons received a travel rack and five black tubeless tires. Super Series models were equipped the same as above plus dual horns; rear door arm rests; front foam cushion and rear ash trays. Custom Series models were equipped 1961 Rambler Classic V8 Custom 4-Door Sedan with all above plus full wheel discs; electric clock; glove box light; two-tone steering wheel; carpets and rear vent window. A major engineering change (and a first for the industry) was the introduction of a die-cast aluminum, six-cylinder engine - standard for Classic Custom models, and optional on DeLuxe and Super models.

    AMC straight-6 engine 1 AMC straight-6 engine The American Motors Corporation (AMC) straight-6 family of engines was used in AMC passenger cars and Jeep vehicles from 1964 through 2006. 195.6 American Motors' first straight-six engine was the 195.6 cu in (unknown operator: u'strong' L). It was produced from 1958 through 1965 in both overhead valve (OHV) and flathead (L-head) side-valve versions. Sometimes referred to as the 196 engine, this engine was originally designed by Nash in the 1930s as a flathead, and redesigned as an OHV engine in 1956. The flathead version was discontinued for 1956–1957, but reemerged in 1958 as the economy engine for the "new" Rambler American. When the engine was changed to an OHV configuration the water pump was moved from the left side of the engine (driven by a shaft extending from the back of the generator) to the front above the timing chain. When the flathead model was reintroduced it also received the new water pump. Equipped with such high quality parts as forged crankshafts and connecting rods, these engines earned a reputation for remarkable durability. The flathead, however, was prone to the typical flathead problem of overheating under sustained heavy load. This was from the hot exhaust traveling through the cylinder block to the exhaust manifold. American Motors introduced a die-cast aluminum block version of the OHV 195.6 cu in (unknown operator: u'strong' L) engine in 1961. It was produced through 1964. This engine used cast-iron cylinder liners and a cast-iron head.
