Saving Tempest
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
They had a Rambler Classic. American 220,330,440...Classic550,660,770...Ambassador880,990. Dad had a '64 Ambassador 990, 327 V8 (Rambler mid-block...nothing similar to Chevy 327 small block).
Before that (it's a very long story) he had the 64 Rambler Tarpon prototype, also 327, 4 spd. Much information online about Rambler is incorrect.
I have a 74 Matador Oleg Cassini Black/Black (copper trim).
I also have a 66 Rogue convertible 290 4 spd...1 of 1.

The styling cues are pretty similar between some of the AMCs and the some Chrysler cars. Not the Classics or the Marlin though. Jack Webb liked them over the big Chevys LAPD tended to use AFAIK. He liked the then new Dodge truck for Emergency! which only made sense. I'm not so sure that Dragnet was as accurate a portrayal as it could have been but Webb liked smaller economical cars and good value.
