Re: [AMC-list] An SC/Rambler Question

OK, There is a very obscure reference to "SST" in the 1967 AMC 
factory literature under the Rebel section which says "SST" stands 
for Super Sport Touring . I believe 1967 was the first use of an SST 
model designation for AMCs . I'm not sure off the top of my head what 
was the last , but AMC seems have used it  on most of the car lines 
except Gremlin and AMX for a good 10 years or so. As for the SC on 
the SC/Rambler I always thought it stood for Sport Car or Sport 
Coupe. I'd go with sport car myself , but I don't think AMC ever 
really said any place what it meant , just a cleaver  play on words 
and a good marketing name. LRDaum

  I hope Davis meant Super Coupe, not Super Coup. Chicken Coup??  But
really all Doc is doing is opening up a can of worms because you will get
10's of answers on what SC, SST, etc. mean. For my preference I would
prefer Super Car for the SC/Rambler because it was a super car!!!!
