the rambler classic

what a car; i bought the car in 1975 for 200.oo dollars and it was worth every penny, it wasn't very pretty to look at but it ran fantastic, i remember it cutting out so i dropped it off at the point(quaker state service station), they replaced a gas filter and it ran liked the wind. the front seat was totally without a cover but the blanket i used to cover it worked fine, one of the many features of the front seat was the entire front seat would lay back and become a bed and that was an important feature being 18. when i initially made the purchase i had the intentions of doing bodywork to the car but at the time i was young and some dreams fade rapidly. so the rambler had a light green paint job(what paint you could find), and spots of grey primer giving it a camouflaged look.

in the 60's at least earlier sixties they made cars heavier and the bumpers on cars were sturdier but the rambler was punished by ramming signs on occasion due to the owners stupidity, or it could have been the fact that i was impaired and my driving skills where somewhat compromised although at the time it was great, almost sporting. from the sign ramming the bumpers began to permanently "V" inward but that only enhanced the cars beauty.

another swell feature of the classic was an 8-track tape player which i installed, i only had 1 or two 8-track tapes but they sounded dandy. i remember "in particular" todd rundgren's" music playing on the awesome sound system, i'd even get goosebumps from time to time or maybe it was merely gas?
