Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

ENOUGH already ferchrissakes!!! Not a single person here cares to read your take any more. You've worn out the welcome mat. Mention Rambler just one more time and I won't be the only member that will stick you on permanent ignore.

 

Here is one that's been sitting in the same spot for 13 years. 1959 Rambler. I bought it last November, but I have to wait for the yard to dry out. I tried to get it last fall but it was tearing up the yard and the lady that lived there was just about in tears about it. I felt bad.

In Oregon, waiting for a yard to dry out means "Come back in the summer."

 

unless you have a "picture" to add to this "PICTURE THREAD" ....... Shut the hell up!

 

Wow thats a great looking ride right there..Best of luck I just love Ramblers .If I could I would save every one in Alaska and park them on my land so the great grand kids have some cars to tinker with .I'm pretty sure they will love them too.

 

Thanks man!

Ramblers are so simple. After wrenching on T-birds, and Galaxies, and other stuff with crazy vacuum lines, and other complicated stuff, its always nice to just wrench on a rambler. It's basic as it gets. Plus they run forever. My great great grandparents had a '59 Rambler that served them for 17 years. Then my parents for 5 years. And then my Uncle for 3 years of High School. It's sitting in a pasture waiting for me to come get it one of these years. But for now, I'll tinker with this Rambler and pass it on to someone who will enjoy it.

 

Here's a '58 Ford 2 dr Ranch Wagon that a buddy and I drug out of Dayton Washington. It had been sitting and rotting for over 35 years. It's now floating around the PNW.

 

I wouldn't wait to long to grab that family Rambler.You don't want it to turn into the Rambler that got away.

 

I'd love to take a walk around your yard it sounds like you have tons of cool stuff.

 

You DO know that the Edsel pic with the lighted back ground is a very cool pic? That would make a cool wall hanger.

 

Thanks man, I really appreciate that!

I plan on retaking the photo when I get a better camera.

Here is a different one.

Well I am just down the road from you, if you ever feel like taking an 1850 mile afternoon cruise drop me a line!

 

Here are some more shots of the Edsel, these were taken at the former museum where I got it last year.

 

Man i just love that grill.

59 Ambassador?​

Did You get a photo of, or a look at that ´59 Chevy passenger car behind the truck? Looks fairly "complete" to me, what bodystyle was it?

 

I'm pretty sure that is a 1957 Nash Ambassador.

 

Those stacked headlights have me stumped. Didn't the '57s have singles? It looks like a lot of late Hudson influence in this design. After doing a tiny bit of research it appears the '58 & '59 Ambassadors had horizontally mounted dual headlamps. UPDATE - I think I found that it's a '57 Hudson Hollywood - ??? Never heard of it but found a similar pic via google. That's gotta be a low production model near or at the end of Hudson's life as a manufacturer.

 

The last full-size Nash Ambassador was in 1957. After that, the Nash name was phased out & all models came under the AMC umbrella name. The 1958 AMC Ambassador was based on the Rambler line, as was everything else.

At least, I THINK that's right.
