Rambler Cross Country (1912)

Automobiles

The Rambler Cross Country was one of the model names that the Thomas B. Jeffery Company of Kenosha, Wisconsin, introduced for its Rambler cars in 1912, alongside the Country Club, Knickerbocker and Valkyrie names that Wikipedia credits to Ned Jordan. It was a four-cylinder car, and the Model 73-4CC carried the Cross Country name in its designation, with the letters CC standing for Cross-Country. In 1912 three of these cars covered 320 miles in one day from Chicago to Toledo on a company demonstration. A Cross Country roadster and touring car were still offered for 1913, among the last cars sold under the Rambler brand before the company replaced the name with Jeffery in 1914. The name is not the Cross Country station wagon that Nash later added to the Rambler line in 1954.
