Overview of 1958 AMC Rambler American For Sale by Owner

Now here’s an American classic that’s a little different from the herd! The Rambler American by American Motors Corporation, or AMC to most of us. Produced between 1958 and 1969, the Rambler American is a compact car that builds on the Nash Rambler that preceded it. The Rambler American would go on to become a success not just in North America, but many other parts of the world as well. The car was assembled in Wisconsin, as well as Brampton for the Continent, but overseas operations included Iran, Mexico, South Africa and Australia. If you’d like to become a custodian of a Rambler American, here’s one from Abilene, Texas. This 1958 Rambler American has traveled around 68,557 miles and features a repaint in blue, as well as re-upholstered bench seating.

Exterior and Interior

The design of this 1958 Rambler American is definitely interesting, and unlike most other Fifties cars. In fact, it has a rather European flair to it, with its rakish forward-angled door pillars, upright stance and bulbous shape. The car has been repainted in blue and features replaced chrome parts as well. Its wheels wear Starfield Solarus IV radial tires and there’s a spare wheel too. The interior of this 1958 Rambler American comes in matching blue, and includes two reupholstered bench seats. Remember that the Rambler is meant to be a compact car, in which case it offers decent space for the segment. You’ve also got a set of rubber carpet mats to keep the floorboards as clean as possible. Meanwhile, the dashboard sports an interesting gauge pod with the speedometer taking pride of place, while the fuel and temperature gauges lurk beneath. What’s even more interesting is how the speedometer is presented; with single numerals so you’ve got to multiply them in your head by ten!

Engine

With its 195ci straight six and single downdraft Carter carburetor, this 1958 Rambler American isn’t a speed demon. Let’s get that out of the way right now. But it’s got a 3-speed column-shifted manual transmission and is rear-wheel drive, so performance isn’t exactly tortoise-like. The engine made 90 horsepower, but was far more popular for its claimed 30 miles per gallon fuel economy – that was positively frugal in those days, when larger cars with V8s could only muster high single figures.
