BobinVirginia Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I recently came across a car of interest. 1911 Model 65 Rambler. From what I researched there only one left? Can anyone elaborate on these cars? Seems in league with the Olds Limited. I’ve seen videos of one green example that is supposed to be the only car left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobinVirginia Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Is the green car truly the only known to exist? Beautiful car! I hope another exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rambler was a big car, but the Olds limited would cast a large shadow over it. I’ve seen both in person and it’s hard to explain. Both are fantastic cars and for you car enthusiasts out there, if you ever have the opportunity to attend a local show with large brass cars I would recommend it. They really are eye openers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another big difference between the Olds Limited and the Rambler is the size of the engine. The engine in the Olds is almost twice the displacement of the engine in the Rambler. The Rambler is an impressive car in its own right but very few cars are in the same class as the Olds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobinVirginia Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Both are very beautiful. That was a very interesting period when these cars were built. So glad that examples still exist for us to marvel at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a Pierce 66 has over a hundred cubic inches more than the Olds... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Mead Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Who needs a Fire Engine speedster ? I remember when I was much younger and our 1912 Pratt 30 was my first “full size “ brass car. Rolling around under it I was struck that it was nearly more truck than car. Heavy built. On the other hand, our Hupp 20 is no heavier than it needs to be. Maybe the Pratt isn’t either…… Yes, beautiful cars, hats off to those able to maintain and operate them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
