1959 Rambler American

Automobiles

A two door station wagon was added for 1959. With the larger Rambler Six wagons offered only as four door models, AMC's management thought little sales cannibalization from the American would occur. The Deluxe wagon was priced at $2,060. Self adjusting brakes were added in 1959. Rambler sales increased in 1959, and AMC struggled to keep up with demand, as production tripled to 91,491 Americans, and the two door sedans each sold nearly as well.
