Rambler Classic (first generation)

The larger sized Rambler series was based on a 1956 design and was renamed the Classic for the 1961 model year to help create a stronger individual identity and contrast from the smaller Rambler American. American Motors' Edmund E. Anderson designed the new 108 inch wheelbase Ramblers that looked new and fresh but were in fact inexpensive reskinned models. They filled the mid range in AMC's line of compacts and were offered as a six passenger four door sedan and as a station wagon. Its model years run from 1961 to 1962.
