The 1964 Rambler American was a critically important product for American Motors. As their low-price leader, it would carry on the Rambler legacy in a throughly modern compact. The 1964 Rambler American 440 Convertible we just photographed for The Complete Book of AMC Cars is proof an inexpensive car can also be very stylish — designer Bob Nixon made sure of that. This the second AMC we’ve have photographed that was purchased by a grandparent and is now in the hands of a 20-something grandson dedicated to its preservation.
