67-70 AMC Rebel, look at the extension of the front bumper into the body. -- Last edit: 2013-10-01 14:38:53 |

AMCs came out in 1970. |

No, AMCs were rolled out by car line starting in 1966 with the Ambassador and Marlin. |

And by 1968, all cars produced by the company were listed as AMC's. |

Wikipedia says: The Rambler brand was completely dropped after the 1969 model year in North America, although it continued to be used in several overseas markets as either a model or brand name, with the last use in Mexico in 1983. From 1970, AMC was the brand used for all American Motors passenger cars; and all vehicles from that date bore the AMC name and the new corporate logo. In 1970, AMC consolidated all passenger cars under one distinct brand identity and debuted the Hornet range of compact cars. |

Well, that disagrees with the period NADA guides, which list all American Motors cars under that brand from 1968. The following is a direct quote from my April 1968 NADA edition: "Note: The automobiles manufactured by the American Motors Corporation are listed in this manner at the reqest of American Motors". I'm not sure they were specifically "AMC" branded (maybe "American Motors Javelin" for example) but they ceased to be Ramblers as a make by 1968. And this separation was complete by 1966 for the Ambassador and Marlin. It is correct that the last Rambler was the 1969 model on the American market but it was an "AMC Rambler" (or "American Motors Rambler") by then, no longer a marque. |

I'm inclined to say 69 based on the high fender badge. |
