t's not an everyday occurrence to come across an original, unrestored 1965 AMC Rambler Ambassador 990 in pristine condition, but there's always a first. In the summer of 2024, I received a lead on an original '65 Rambler Ambassador 990 that had recently shown up in Avon, Ind. — and it turned out to be one of the nicest unrestored examples of any 60-year-old vehicle I'd ever seen and photographed. On Sept. 30, 1964, Raymond Kramer, of Kenosha, Wis., ordered a new 1965 AMC Rambler Ambassador 990 four-door sedan from Johnson & Sons Co., Inc., in Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., and while doing so checked off just about every factory option available including the 327-cid V-8, Flash-O-Matic Transmission, air conditioning, power steering and Montego Rose and Taupe two-tone paint. Leaving little to spare, Kramer ordered the optional individually adjustable seats, light and visibility groups, vinyl trim, AM-FM radio with Vibra-Tone rear seat speakers and front seat retractable seatbelts. |

"Beautifully quiet, Quietly beautiful," proclaimed Chevrolet's 1972 Monte Carlo sales brochure. It also said, "We left well enough alone to keep it alone in its field." Though well stated and accurate, the total truth was that the original plan was to have an all-new Monte Carlo ready for 1972. However, federal regulations that emerged from congress at about the time the new version was entering the design stage forced a delay of one model year to introduce the second-generation car. Therefore, only a light facelift was performed on the 1971 Monte Carlo to create the '72 model. |
