The AMC/Nash Rambler Story - a podcast by Smitty, Mike, and The Galaxy Gang

It's almost summertime, and hot rod shows and vintage car cruise nights are again popping up all over the country. This week we talk about the history of AMC automobiles, and are joined by Galaxy Good Guy Tom Dulaney, an AMC historian and collector. American Motors formed in 1954 with the merger of the Nash and Hudson automobile companies. In subsequent years, notable cars such as the Rambler, Gremlin, and Hornet, as well as a number of muscle cars in their later years rolled out of AMC assembly lines. Tom outlines the history of AMC and its innovations over the years. He also tells us about the car clubs and followers who actively collect AMC vehicles, while recalling the popularity of AMC vehicles in TV shows and movies. As a later, independent automobile company that provided popular vehicles for many years, underdog AMC was well known for innovation, despite heavy competition by "Big 3" car companies. Eventually absorbed by Chrysler Corporation, the AMC legacy continues today, with Ramblers, Pacers, Javelins, Hornets, and other AMC models seen on the road, and at car shows and automobile museums around the world. #nashrambler #amcpacer #amcjavelin #nashhudson #americanmotors Let's imagine we are in Mike's late uncle's 1957 Rambler station wagon and go for a ride on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
