When the last Ambassador left the Kenosha line in June 1974, it closed out a nameplate that had been in continuous production, in some form, for 48 years.
Coachbuilders in Argentina and the US stretched this very Ambassador generation into custom limousines — an unlikely second life for AMC's flagship.
The '67 Ambassador convertible's last-ever year got an all-new folding top that hid its rails so well, three adults could still fit in back.
The 1965 Ambassador convertible was the first drop-top in the Ambassador line in 17 years — nobody had offered one since 1948.
A scrappy independent beating Detroit's Big Three at their own game: Motor Trend named the entire redesigned 1963 Rambler lineup, Ambassador included, its Car of the Year.
AMC shrank the 1962 Ambassador onto a shorter 108-inch wheelbase and made it lighter than the full-size car it replaced — and quicker, with a 270-hp V8.
The restyled 1961 Ambassador swept 9 of the top 10 spots in its class at the Pure Oil Company's Economy Trials — a genuine efficiency win in a V8-powered American sedan.
The 1958 Ambassador looked like a much bigger car, but it wasn't: its extra nine inches of wheelbase went entirely ahead of the cowl, so the cabin held exactly as much room as the compact Rambler.
