The '67 is 'Gracie'.  I got her from the estate of a 108yearold lady who 
died and left Gracie behind (you can't get to heaven in a MercedesBenz said 
JanisJoplin; you can't take a Rambler their either!).
Gracie has an amazing 36,000 on her now (I added near 6,000; I got her at 
30,317!).  You cannot ever mistake LowMilage, and in Gracie's case, you 
won't either.
She ain't perfect: seat losing tensile strength (the fabric is 'weak').  she 
leaks in the rain (big time too!..  I suspect a 'cowl' issue but have never 
looked into it).  Otherwise...she's my 'daily driver'...but she needs a 
loving home.

Oh, yeah.  she DOES have previous rust.  1/4's and some other 
places...nothing un-doable, but it does need to get done quickly.  But for 
now??  She's as dependable as she ever was.  Ramblers do not make me 'walk 
home'; Gracie is not the exception...she's a 'home girl' (after all, she was 
garage kept from May 02, 1967 until last September.)

220 'Post' Sedan (not H/T, but Sedan).  Cheapest of the Cheap.  options: 
Custom steering Wheel (WHY???) and automatic tranny.  Radio delete, of 
course.  Why Mrs VanDeVeer choose the custom steering wheel I will never 
know.  No power anything (power-steering would help); this lady drove Gracie 
until 1989 (do the math: Died at 108 in 2005--subtract 1989 from 2005 (16 
years), then subtract 16 years from 108 and you'll then discover 
GraceVanDeVeer drove Gracie (see where the name came from?) until she was 
OVER 92 years old!  (She was just over 5 feet tall and under 100lbs , so 
'Little Old Lady' understates her stature!).  How Grace drove Gracie must 
have been a comic-scene!  Imagine looking UNDER the steering wheel to see 
forward?  And how did she steer it?  She must have had Popeye forearms!

Anyway, Gracie is a gem, and absolute gem.
