1960 Next Generation Rambler

The next generation of Rambler arrives. Cleaner styling and increased interior room were the main features. The Rebel line was deleted after 1960, but was still available for one final year with the V8. American and Classic were available only with the 195.6 cid six, with single-barrel carb or optional two-barrel "Power Pak." Ambassador was powered by the 327 cid V-8. Metropolitan importing stops, but their stock lasts through the '62 model year, making the late-model Mets very collectible today. 

1961 - Though mechanically unchanged, the curvy American was completely restyled to become the "breadbox" American, with linear shape and attractive grille. Ambassador receives a memorable, "European" looking front end.

1962 - The slanted petite tailfins on Classic and Ambassador were eliminated for a rounded back end, much like MoPars of the same period.

1963 - The entire Rambler line was named Motor Trend Car of the Year for their unitized construction, (a Nash tradition) modern engines and remarkable value. Classic and Ambassador were completely redesigned with chic, clean styling and the unforgettable "Pac Man" grille. The V-8 was available again in the Classic, and a new 287 cid version was introduced. A 287 V-8 was introduced for the Classic line due to dealer demands for a V-8 option late in the 63 model year. It was used only in the Classic, with the 327 still reserved for use in the Ambassador only.
