Popular Post ExpatOilWorker Posted November 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 27, 2017 A Rambler Rebel sitting alone along at the road side. It is probable from the late 50'. Just imagine the history behind this V8 muscle car. Who had the money, inspiration and dreams to bring this car to Thailand in 1957/58? Where have the car been, gala dinners, weddings, short time hotels, road trips? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rambler_Rebel American Motors surprised most observers with the December 1956 introduction of the Rambler Rebel – "a veritable supercar".[7]The new 1957 model debuted as a high-performance vehicle that combined AMC's lightweight 108-inch (2,743 mm) wheelbaseRambler four-door hardtop body with AMC's newly introduced 327 cu in (5.4 L) V8 engine.[8] This made it the first-time that a large block V8 was installed in a mid-size car in the post-World War II marketplace. General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler offered no intermediate-sized cars whatsoever. Although AMC was best known for their reliable economy cars, this special model came with a bigger engine than anything found at Chevrolet, Ford, or Plymouth—the Rambler's most popular competitors at that time. The Rebel's US$2,786 MSRP base price was economical for the amount of power provided. It was the fastest stock American sedan, according to Motor Trend.[7] All Rebels came with a manual (with overdrive unit) or GM's four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, as well as other performance enhancements such as a dual exhaust system, heavy-duty suspension with Gabriel (brand) shock absorbers, and front sway bar. The Rebel was capable of 0 to 60 mph (0-97 km/h) acceleration in just 7.5 seconds with its standard 255 hp (190 kW; 259 PS) carbureted engine. The car's light monocoque (unibody) construction afforded a power-to-weight ratio of about 13 pounds per horsepower, a better ratio than other 1957 model year automobiles and a contrast to Volkswagen's 45.[9] The Rebel's engine also differed from the 327s installed in the 1957 Ambassador and Hudson Hornet models because it used mechanical valve lifters and a higher compression ratio. Since both engines were rated at 255 hp, it is probable that the Rebel's was underrated.[10] Power steering and power drum brakes were also standard, as on all Rambler Custom models. The car was available only in silver metallic paint accented with gold anodized aluminum inserts along the sides. Padded dashboards and visors, rear child proof door locks, and seat belts were all optional.[11] A total of 1,500 Rebels were produced in 1957. Integrated air conditioning system, the All Weather Eye was a $345 option.[6] The Rebel is considered to be a precursor of the muscle cars (rear-wheel drive mid-size cars with a powerful V8 engines and special trims) that became so popular in the 1960s. It also foretold that muscle-type performance would be included among AMC's models.[12] 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Back in the 60's, our scoutmaster always drove Rambler wagons. He spent a lot of time driving in the boonies and the Ramblers were built using galvanized sheetmetal. That's probably why this 50+ year old body is in such great condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron19 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Is this what is called a pile up ? An older couple were turning left when another one with three youngsters on board came through attempting to pass them on their left. One young girl hospitalised, the rest with a bit of skin missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor going against traffic, 2 pickups carry passengers in the back (without seat-belts), motorcycle in the center-right of the picture is going against traffic. Only the pickup truck in the center in the clear, or is he speeding? Overloaded? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
