1972 AMC Ambassador review from North America
"Underrated performance and elegance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing to ever go wrong with this car was a loose battery cable.
Owned it from purchase until it was totaled by a school bus on the way home from work one day.
General comments?
Seriously the MOST comfortable car I ever drove.
Excellent performance, it could beat a corvette off the line and burn rubber in all the gears as the auto transmission up-shifted.
If the front seat was moved as far forward as it went, the entire bench seat's back would recline and meet up with the back seat for darn near queen sized bed comfort.
