Pinched parking? Anybody can hang excessive sheet metal on a car and make it a mon-ster to park. Not Rambler. That beautiful and roomy Classic station wagon, pictumd below, will actually _ turn sharper than any other-make U.S. sedan; parks like a dream. New steering advances give all Ramblers area greater handling ease for '64:
Jumping Jack journeys? Tired of jounce, bounce and rattles? You're in for a delightful surprise when you drive a '64 Rambler, with its in-credibly smoother and quieter new ride—the result of a host of ex-clusive suspension and construction advances.
Hipped on headroom? High prices don't guarantee high — headroom. In many cars, it's the opposite. People who haven't sat in a Rambler before are amazed at the room. High-hat headroom. Big shoulder room, hiproom, legroom. Optional 7-position Adjust-O-Tilt steering wheel suits every driver.
Rambler-No.1 in usefulness to the user No other car today gives you so many features for longer, more trouble-free car life—features like Deep-Dip rustproofing right up to the roofline; Ceramic-Armored muffler, exhaust and tailpipes; 33,000-mile or 3-year chassis lubrication; many other advances.

.1111111P Not enough go for your dough? Too many Rambler imitators tried to match its famed economy by cutting power down to the point of sluggishness. But they missed the Rambler Idea—a balance of snappy perform-arias ?with economy. Rambler Classic now offers a 198-hp V-8 that costs less than many Sixes.' Ambassador available with 250- or 270-hp V-8.

Test Drag a Javelin. Don't laugh. The American Motors Javelin SST is even faster than it looks.

Test Drag a Javelin. Don't laugh. The Javelin SST is even faster than it looks. When equipped with a .343 cube/280-BHP 4-barrel V-8, and a 4-speed manual transmission with a 3.54 rear axle, it will move from a standstill to 60 in about 7.86 sec-onds and pin your backbone to the bucket in the process. The engine pumps out a tough 365 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 RPM. This SST in pure stock form will cover a standing quarter in 15.8. But performance just begins there. The real surprise comes in the Javelin's handling. The Javelin can be equipped with front disc brakes, and a special handling suspension that includes a larger dialneter sway. bar and heavy-duty springs- and shocks. • You'll notice the Javelin's phenomenal control in tight turns and highspeed cornering. Popular Science Monthly wrote that The Javelin reacts almost the same at high speed as it does during low speed maneuvers. Steering ratio was 18.1 to 1 overall and it felt just right for this can Not too slow, not too fast. I particularly liked the action of the power steering. Aside from handling, the ride is excellent — tight and firm, yet 'comfortable-enough for long-distance or everyday driving.

Introducing a sensible alternative to the money-squeezing, insurance-strangling muscle cars of America. The American Motors Hornet SC/360.

Introducing a sensible alternative to the money-squeezing, insurance-strangling muscle cars of America. The Hornet SC/360. The Hornet SC/360 lists for only $2,663. Which is surprising when you consider what the September issue of Motor Trend had to say about it: The SC/360 is just a plain gas to drive. It has lightning quick per-formance... It handles like a dream, especially on the TransAm road course at Michigan Interna-tional Speedway where we had an opportunity to test it. A 360 CID V-8 engine with 245 horse-power is standard. So is a 3-on-the-floor, all synchromesh transmission. A heavy-duty clutch. D70 x 14 PolyglasTM tires. 14 x 6 mag style wheels. Space saver spare: Rally stripe. And individual reclining seats. To make it even gutsier, the SC/360 also comes with a long list of options. Among which you'll find a 4-barrel 360 V-8 that develops 285 horsepower. An all synchro 4-on-the-floor with Hurst shifter.. Ram air induction with hood scoop. 3.54 or 3.91 rear axle with Twin-Grip. Dual ex-hausts. White letter tires. Heavy-duty suspension. And a big tach. But even with the added cost of these options, the SC/360 ends up with a lower list price than most of its bigger, muscle-bound competitors. And because of its standard 12.5: 1 weight-to-power ratio, insurance on the SC/360 ends up lower, too. As a leading car magazine has said, 'The day of the heavy 400-cube, 400-horsepower supercar may be just about over.' 'Manufacturer's suggested retail price. Federal taxes in-cluded. State and local taxes, if any, destination charges excluded. If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler what would you do? American Motors

Why is it when the other car companies come out with sporty little cars, the cars come out looking the same? If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler, what would you do? The American Motors Gremlin X.

Why is it when the other car companies come out with sporty little cars, the cars come out looking the same? There is an approach to the sporty little car that goes beyond the exagger-ated paint job. And the Gremlin X is the first little car to take it. It is,-basically and fundamentally, the first little car to break with the design traditions of Detroit. There is no traditional gentle sloping of the rear. There are none of the conventional curves around the front and sides. And there is no attempt to suggest more performance than there actually is. Instead of a fat black stripe down the hood, there are real fat tires. Fatter standard tires than the Vega GT, Pinto Rallye, Maverick Grabber, or Comet GT offer you. There are 4 of the new slot-style wheels and 2 bucket seats. The same bucket seats we put in our Javelin. And instead of non-functioning hood scoops, there is a standard 6 cylinder engine that develops 135 horsepower. More cylinders than Pinto and Vega. And more horsepower than all four. Even the Gremlin X's optional engine is a larger 6 cylinder than those offered by Comet or Grabber. It is 258 cubic inches and generates 150 horsepower. But no matter how sporty the Gremlin X gets, it is still the original American subcompact. With all the economy and maneuverability that implies. It gives you up to 25 miles to the gallon. And it is heavier, with wider front and rear tracks than any of the other four. Finally, the Gremlin X lists for only $2299. * Which is quite a bargain when you consider what you're getting for your money. Either a different-looking subcompact with the spirit of a sporty car. Or a different-looking sporty car with the advantages of a subcompact. If you had to compete with GM, Ford and Chrysler, what would you do? The American Motors Gremlin X.

It's a limited production car; only 500 units are planned at this time. Enough to qualify the SC/Rambler for stock classes in drag racing. The price is $2,998! Which is very little money when you see what it buys. 1. 390 cubic inch AMX V-8 Engine. 2.4 - speed all-synchromesh close-ratio transmission. 3. Special Hurst 4-speed shift linkage with T-handle. 4. A Sun tach mounted on the steer-ing column. 5. Dual Exhaust system with special-tone mufflers and chrome extensions. 6. Functional Hood Scoop for cold-air induction. 7.
