The Rambler was first a compact model from Nash but became its own brand once AMC was formed and Rambler had a couple of different models.I don't think I've heard of a Rambler before aside from the AMC Rambler.
I love the volvo's. Add this one to the list! V50 T5 R design
I'll have two, please. Thanks.I remembered that the Ford Torino Wagon exists.
I want one, preferably with the 428 Cobra Jet option.
Yup, and it's still a fine wagon. However, I don't like what Mercury did with the front end on those and the Cyclone from that year.
I can appreciate that, but I personally love the beak; it's just the right amount of quirky to make it stand out from the rest of the pack. I prefer it as used on the Cyclone, with the gunsight piece, but the Montego's version is just fine.Yup, and it's still a fine wagon.

Saw it in person when I went to his open house
Continuing the wagon stories, my mother’s first ever car was a 1977 AMC Hornet wagon. I have no idea what options it had but all she told me was that it looked like this example but less prestine:
This is the station wagon I grew up in, the 1965 Mercury Commuter. Ours was a pale yellow. It was the first new car my parents bought. Although it's a '65, they actually got it in 1966. My mom asked for the wagon with the biggest engine they had. They had a 390 left over from the '65 model year and were willing to make a deal. 1966 was the first year of Ford's brilliant "Magic Door Gate" tailgate that could be opened like a normal tailgate but also like a regular door. That was a huge success for Ford, so the leftover '65s that didn't have them suddenly became a lot harder to move. My dad got a great deal and my mom drove that wagon for the next 15 years. They finally replaced it with a Mercury Zephyr Z7 coupe because us kids were all grown up by then and she didn't need a wagon.
