1. My father used to work for American Motors and we had a Rambler
when I was a girl. I hated it because the seatbelts would pinch you in the belly if you weren't careful. :hi:

18. I think that Donohue actually won a Trans-Am Championship with one.
Thanks in large part to Roger Penske.

Ran in Minnesota winters for years and years.

My dad had a Javelin, and then later an Ambassador. Add on edit: he had a Hornet too. I just remembered.

I always liked the Marlin.
