1966 AMC Rambler 440 wagon review from North America
"Most reliable vehicle ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brake lines rusted out and all of them had to be replaced. Not very expensive, but tedious and time consuming.
Floor board rusted through. Do not look down while driving.
Left rear leaf spring busted.
General comments?
Very easy to service on those rare occasions when I actually had to open the hood.
Plenty of room with deep comfortable seats.
Handled reasonably well despite a tendency to wallow through sharp turns.
Nicely finished interior with the exception of the fiberboard headliner.
