We had a new Rambler, AMC every couple of years.
Pops bro in Wisconsin was a dealer, so we flipped em often.
Several Ambassadors, a couple of Matadors, a couple of Concords, a Gremlin.
Pops almost got a Javelin in 71 when his younger brother got one, but ol' mom had other ideas, we came home with another Ambassador.

Yep! Just like that! Mine was navy blue. I learned to drive stick on my way home with it.

Guys, I must make my own confession. Once upon a time, before getting a Plymouth Duster, Goldmember drove a Pinto.
It wasn't a Gremlin, but it was sure darn close! (Stock photo, but it was the same color green)

I liked Pintos and Mavericks, except for those pesky exploding fuel tanks.
Everyone dissed them, I thought they were ok, not the "cool" car to have but a decent easy on fuel daily driver.
My first car was the worst. EVER.
1975 Dodge Colt (import Mitsubishi) what a cheaply made POS.
Mom did give it to me so no complaints, just the facts ma'am, just the facts.
Glad she wasnt driving it anymore.
EDIT: Another fine example of your great work Mr. Hack!
