1960 Rambler American in Saratoga Springs, New York

Vehicle Description

This car is one of the rarest in the country and is a real "survivor" in the truest sense of the word. Very few of the 2,994 produced still exist and the unusual Cinnamon Bronze and Frost White color combination may be the only one in existence. It is a "numbers matching" car, nearly all original with only 44,670 miles and comes with the original owner's manual. The dash, garnish moldings and steering wheel are also in Cinnamon Bronze. The seats, headliner, door panels are upholstered in coordinating lavender and white, cloth and vinyl materials. It is believed that these are original to the car but the carpeting has been replaced with white, cut pile, not original to the car.

The original in-line six cylinder 196 cid, OHV engine and the manual 3-speed transmission provide plenty of "get up and go" and easily cruise at 65mph for hours at a time. The engine, accessories and engine bay are in remarkable original condition and the trunk compartment is immaculate. The "stick shift" lever is quite unusual: instead of traditional mounting on the steering column, as with other cars, it is located on the dash next to the steering wheel, in a ball joint configuration!

This is virtually a rust free car with only minor paint chips and scratches, expected in a car of its' age. All chrome, stainless moldings, emblems, bezels and mirrors are original to the car, with no dents or dings, with exception of one small dent in the right door molding. It has a working AM dial radio, but the antenna needs mounting. The heater/defrost are in good working order, as are all gauges, lights wipers. This car placed Second for 1950-1961 Stock Vehicles at a show sponsored by Adirondack Car Enthusiasts, in August of 2015 and was a "FAVORITE 40" in the June 2015 ACE annual car show, Glens Falls, NY.

ESTIMATE: $8,000 - $15,000
