My 61 Rambler Classic. Bought from the original owner who bought it when he was 71.

Had only 25k miles on her when I bought her in 1976. Included receipts for 25 oil change/lube/tire rotations, all done by the same guy.

I put over 100k miles on 'er in just over two years. Had to replace the head (aluminum!) and re-attach the manual tranny (every bolt had managed to vibrate loose ). That was it repair wise.

Got over 30mpg, had enough room inside to carry 6 dining room chairs, and the trunk was big enough to carry a disassembled dining room table. With the trunk lid closed. Front seat was a full bench that was split - both halves reclined to damn near flat. For sleeping.

Sold it for $300; $70 more than I'd paid for it. Have regretted it ever since.
