[Amc-list] Model Names (was Re: cross country on ebay-hood spears?)

["RetroRalph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We had Hudson Ramblers and Nash Ramblers 55 and 56.  57 I think was AMC 
Ramblers.  I think the difference was which dealership sold them. 
Either Nash or Hudson.  I think they got the dealerships consolidated by 
1957 model year.
My uncle had a small Hudson dealership in NoDak.  I spent summer of '57 
working for him. (I mostly worked on grain combines :)

Yuppers,
The '56 was the first 'boxy' look...tough to tell apart from the '57. 
The
American was 'reborn' from minor sheet metal changes out of the '55.
The '56 and '57 were actually 'Ramblers', but there was NO '57 
Statesman,
only '56.  '57 and '56 both saw Ambassadors though.

There wasn't a 56 Rambler was there?  Just 55 and then
the rambler was reborn in 58?  I thought the 56, 57,
years only had Nashes and Hashes.
