I’ve always liked Ramblers. Even when I was a kid and everyone knew only grandmas drove Ramblers I appreciated this somewhat odd segment of American cars. When I found this 1959 Rambler American 2 Door Station Wagon on Ebay, I realized I had never seen an interior of a 1959 American. In an age of gadgety space age dash boards, American Motors came up with one of the simplest dashes I have ever seen.
Whereas most cars of the era had several chrome pods protruding from the dash, American Motors kept it simple with a single round pod centered over the steering wheel.
That’s all folks! All you need to know is tastefully displayed. The transmission selector design is also nicely executed.
What a really nice example of a rare and sweet little car.I have been looking for one 5-6 years now,with a 1960 slipping away just this past week.Congrads to you on owning a nice example of this model.If you have any history on this particular model of rambler please send; via e-mail,like years produced,amounts,ect.I’m just interested in the 2-door wagon.Thanks in advanced for any help in this area,and enjoy that beautiful little car.
Sincerely;
Roger Spurgeon
Greetings from Nebraska, I was visiting out there and found a 1959 two door with 46000 miles on it. paint is sunbleached but the car looks really nice. The owner told me he would sell it for $1500.00. I’d have to truck it two hours north of Minneapolis Minnesota so I am debating on buying it considering the economeny, job security, etc issues. Other then the rambler station wagon my folks had when I was growing up, a neibhor talked them into selling it for $100.00 (he had it long enough to change the title then resold it) I really don’t know much about them, parts avaialblity, etc. Any input would be appreciated. my email address is buchelflugplatz@hotmail.com I’m not on the compture very often so don’t be surprised if I don’t get back to you right away. You really did a nice job fixing this car up it was a pleasure to view the photos. All the best, Kevin in Minnesota.
I HAVE A 1960 STATION WAGON JUST LIKE THE PICTURE AND AM TRYING TO FIND OUT HOW TO REMOVE THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAVE THE ENGINE AND TRANS REMOVED AND THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE IS THE LG NUT ON THE REAR END. ANY HELP IS WELCOME. I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A SERVICE / SHOP MANUAL , RADIO, FRONT TURN SIGNEL LENS COVERS AND A TURN SIGNEL ARM FOR THE COLUMN FOR THE SAME CAR. THANK YOU
