Chevelle? Horrid rims.

I don't think I've come across a Prospector in person until now

they are asking 2500, it's not running. It's likely total junk. 73 Super Beetle

Thanks to Doug for telling me about a post on Curbside (good blog for over a decade) about a grammy nominated country singer, Neko Case, and her song about a Rambler American

I can't add anything to the outstanding post that Curbside Classic did.... I can only share it so you don't miss it if you want to be wowed by a deep country sounding song about a Rambler American 

Like my parents, hers weren't together long. She was emancipated at 15. And my parents had a Rambler before the divorce, and Neko had one that she liked so much that she wrote that song. 

She taught herself to drive at 18, in a 64 Falcon she bought for 350! Since she didn't have a license or insurance, she only went out at night to reduce her risk with running afoul of cops! 

She sold the Falcon, and got the Rambler for 50! "Its radio glowed aqua blue-green, and I listened to the oldies station "

Mick Jagger honking the horn of a '69 Rambler American, license plate XXK 332 I think... anyway, if you know of that Rambler still on the road with that license plate.... get Mick to sign some part of that car while he's still alive. Thank you Steve!

The photo was taken by Robert Altman outside Elektra Records on La Cienega Blvd. in Los Angeles, while Mick was honking the horn while it was being recorded for beginning (and end) of the song "Country Honk" on the Rolling Stones’ 1969 album "Let it Bleed." 

 "Country Honk " is a country version of "Honky Tonk Women" and while it was recorded first, it was released later than "Honky Tonk Women." 

Spotted today... there must have been something going on. I even spotted a 57 T Bird, but wasn't fast enough to photograph it

 

67 Rambler Rogue... good looking car! Not complicated, not aero, just simple and easy on the eyes

very unexpected surprise car to see at SEMA was this '61 Rambler station wagon

67 Rambler Rebel was originally acquired by the owner of an AMC dealership, in 1979, it was presented to his nine-year-old son as a gift. The kid didn't want it. So, it waited 43 years in a barn

This video only gets to where the car is taken to a garage, put on a lift, had the brakes, tires, and carb replaced, then if you want to see the rest of the story, you need to got to HBO / Max and look for the season 1 finale if "Roadworthy Rescues" 

It turns out, this is an edited teaser video, the same video on Max, is 43 minutes, and just the above video section of 13 minutes is more like 19 on the streaming service.
