Guest DeSoto Frank Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 After an interval of some forty years, I have been re-united with a 1961 Rambler American Custom convertible, "just like Mom's" It's a very nice survivor, needing some minor TLC and conservation.Are there any sources for repro rubber parts, such as weathstrip, etc ?Also, does anyone know which brand of headlights / bulbs American Motors was using in 1961 ?It's funny how nobody wanted these cars when my folks got rid of theirs in 1970, and now, "everbody loves the Little Nash-Rambler" !

oldwood Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Congrats on your new convertible. I'm in the process of rehabing my 1st Rambler. I never thought I would buy a Rambler but now I have the bug. It started out as a motor rebuild and has turned into a partial resto. I'll post pics as I get the little 196 back in the car. Mine is a '62 Rambler Classic Custom Station Wagon. Its black w/factory A/C and auto and the power pac engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same answer all the time is, "I wanted something different"................... They sure are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
