Ramblers (along with VW Microbuses) became so much hippy cars in the 60's
that I'd just as soon forget. We got to the point that we would avoid at all
costs a Rambler with religious references painted on it because the drivers
were
placing one heck of a lot of trust in the Lord and not enough on themselves.
At least in California, you didn't want to find yourself following a
Rambler.
