Dealer had one at one time I wanted but could not figure out how to get it. I started out with a 1960 550 196 cu in cast iron 6 4 door with push buton tranny, Dad bout a 1963 same engine 3 speed 4 door just day before, Both good cars but rust finally took them, same as the 1967 American 440 with the 199 engine 2 door stick that was given to me wrecked with 32000 miles and 11 years old and drove it till it rusted away. That followed with 2 1977 Hornets, one 4 door for Dad, mine was a wagon both 258 6 automatic. I followed with a 1979 Concord wagon only with the 232 engine. All developed rust problems late in life. And I went from Cadillac to that 1960 Rambler Classic that was rusted when I bought it. My Cadilac was having engine problems and Dads Desota put a rod thru the pan when we were looking for a car and found both. My 77 was good on gas while Dads was poor but later on I decided it must have been a different rear end gearing. Only one not to have a trailer hitch was the 67. That 67 was wrecked the second time in right front corner and once in rear as I could tell from dammage that was not correctly repaired for the around 80 year old widow that had it and her husband (my wifes great aunt) bought it and he wanted the standard tranny so he would not get mixed up at work driving the fire truck that was his job. When given to me I straightened the frame myself.
The aluminum engines they put in some in the later 50's early 60's is what caused the company to get a bad name.
