Russ, you said...

>originally?

They initally contacted the local chapter of the AMC/Rambler Club, 
looking for stock (though not necessarily restored) vehicles to 
photograph for the magazine.  A handful of us went for it.  I do not know 
how many they actually ended up shooting, but they did Little Car and a 
1961 Classic from a chapter member the same day.

If anything, I am surprised how short this process was: the original 
request went out in December, and I was contacted in Mid-January.  The 
shoot was Mid-March.

Well, I obviously prefer the '64 personally, but I think it was I who 
mentioned the greater desirability of the '63.  It being the "car of the 
year" and all.  Still, I agree, I prefer the front grille on the '64 more 
than the '63.  I think the '63 get the better side trim options, though.
