I was going to split them, but thought otherwise.

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cadillac (talkcontribs). Revision as of 10:42, August 12, 2005.

Abernathy to 'redirect the company to compete with the 'big three' is a common paraphrase of an older false report of history; AMC outsold Chrysler in '58/9 by making fuel efficient compact type cars, making AMC a member of the 'big three' those two years. Rather it was GM, Ford and Chrysler moving in to the compact and intermediate sized car marketplaces already pioneered and proven by 'a smaller four' US carmakers such as the '50 Nash Rambler, '51 Kaiser Henry J, '53 Hudson Jet & the '59 Studebaker Lark. Therefore, the commonly repeated paraphrase is not a true saying at all, but a glaring patch to cover the 'big three's' seven to ten year delay in serving US consumers a variety of different sized smaller type cars.

-Hence, someone with an astute mind needs to edit the article to make it more honest and truthful in this regard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.1.212.177 (talk) 13:32, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AMC musclecars

[edit]

Something needs to be added about the Rambler Rebel and Rambler Rogue. While never as numerous as Stangs or Chevelles, they were quick and stylish. I'm inclined to delete the "principally remembered due to 'Beep Beep'" as an insult to Ramblerphiles... Trekphiler 04:15, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Chief reason for move

[edit]

To me the matter is as clear as night and day, throughout the Wiki Auto-project the general naming convention in instances like these (where the automobile name has been used by another topic, or where the automobile name has several possible meanings we use the format of "Name (automobile)". In the case of Rambler, this page has "Rambler (car)". Moving the page simply brings the title in line with other like topics. So the pages need to swap places and "Rambler (automobile)" needs to get the article, and "Rambler (car)" needs the redirect. Stude62 00:44, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Innovations

[edit]

I don't have citations, but a friend that had two Ramblers told me that it was the first make with a transistorized radio, and a station wagon with a roll-down (vice swing-up) rear window. LorenzoB 06:11, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
