AMC RamblerLimited Edition Extra1956-1969

Quality Book, Great Condition.

As much as I liked it some colored photos would have been nice

A nice, if not comprehensive, review of AMC products. It follows the Rambler line from its inception as a separate AMC brand (or marque), to the eventual elimination of the name. This is done through a series of reprinted articles from various car performance/automotive review magazines of the time. It's interesting to see the rise and fall of a brand through the public's eye.That said, some color pictures would have been nice, as many of the black and white pictures do not read well.Also, spelling and grammatical error, as well as printing defects in the original articles are preserved here, making reading and clear comprehension difficult at times.An excellent view "from the outside, looking in" of AMC, as compared to its contemporaries.

It helps to know what you are getting. When I saw from another review that these are mainly reprints of articles and road tests, I knew this was exactly what I wanted. Yes they are black and white reprints, but I have a couple of the road tests still in my own copies of the original magazines somewhere, and those originals were also black and white. Many models are covered, the dates ranging from 1956 through 1970. This may not be what some people will want, but for me it was exactly what I wanted.

such memories. we always had Nashes and Ramblers and it was so good to see the pictures and to stroll down memory lan

This was a Christmas present for a person very hard to buy for. He loved the book. Lovedthe detailed specs on the Rambler.

This book is a compilation of auto enthusiast magazine articles from the past, and thus it offers an insight into what was expected from a car. AMC was always the small fish in a big pond, surviving only by filling market niches that the BIG THREE ie GM, Ford, and Chrysler ignored. Had it not been for the foreign import invasion from Europe and especially Japan, AMC would likely still be around today. But the small Kenosha, Wisconsin company barely managed to compete against it's Detroit cousins, and the import onslaught was the final nail in the coffin. Still, one has to wonder what a 2008 Ambassador, Matador, Hornet, Javelin, Rebel, and especially Pacer might have looked like !!

When I buy a book, I want new information--not an uncreative collection of reprint articles. The production...well, this is a disappointment.
