realgone58 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Finished this one up the day the board disappeared. It's a Jo-Han promo re-issue from the '80s, it was molded in a non-stock color, so I had this factory color mixed up at the local auto body supply. Algiers Rose Copper metallic, with a brown/tan interior. These little Ramblers sure had a bunch of chrome trim on them! Chrome was shot, so bumpers and wheel covers are Spaz-Stix.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Very nice. Looks like you took extra time polishing and fitting the 'glass' too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Very nice! Unusual subject, and I love the colors. Sure could use a mirror or two, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom99 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 In 1962, my friends father ordered a Rambler Classic, just like your model. At that time, it was a rare color. Your model looks great, and brings back long ago memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Super nice Rambler , Alan ! I'm pretty sure that exterior rear view mirrors were still optional until circa 1963 or 1964 ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
