    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1.01 Cars of the 50's – Hudson and Nash Combine to Become American Motors Once the plan fell through to acquire Packard, Nash moved ahead with its own grand scheme - which began in 1955 with the real start of American Motors. For the 1955 year, American Motors combined the Nash and the Hudson product lines under a common manufacturing strategy, while retaining both the Nash and Hudson established dealer networks. The fast-selling Rambler model was sold under both the Nash and Hudson labels in 1955 and 1956, eventually becoming a marque in its own right, and the mainstay of the company. Regardless of what they were called, these were badge-only engineered Ramblers (along with similar Metropolitans) were identical, aside from hubcaps, nameplates, and a few other minor trim details. The pre-existing full-size Nash product line was continued and the Nash Statesman and Ambassador were handed over to Hudson where they were heavily restyled to become the "new" Hudson Wasp and Hudson Hornet. The two makes, while sharing a common body shell, were quite distinct, perhaps even more than they should have been. They were at least as different from one another as Chevrolet and Pontiac, and in some ways more so. The 1956 Ambassador V8.

IPour quelles raisons la figure de Georges Besse suscite-t-elle, encore aujourd’hui, une telle fascination ? Il y a, certes, le caractère exceptionnel de sa personnalité, qu’ont soulignée tous ceux qui l’ont côtoyé, sa profonde humanité et, bien sûr, le côté dramatique et absurde de son assassinat. Il s’y ajoute, me semble-t-il, un autre élément qui se dégage progressivement à la lecture des articles passionnants qui composent ce numéro : quelque chose comme la nostalgie d’un temps qui, bien évidemment, avait ses défauts, mais où notre pays savait régler efficacement des problèmes qu’il s’efforce en vain de maîtriser aujourd’hui. Le des- tin hors du commun de Georges Besse met cruellement en lumière les dysfonctionne- ments actuels par contraste avec une époque où, par exemple, l’ascenseur social fonc- tionnait bien, sans qu’il y eût besoin de discrimination dite positive ou d’autres disposi- tifs compliqués : le corps enseignant, tout simplement, savait déceler les élèves doués issus de milieux modestes, même au cœur de la France profonde, savait les orienter vers des établissements adéquats, leur permettant d’entrer à l’Ecole Polytechnique s’ils avaient le goût du travail et confirmaient les espoirs mis en eux.
