Ramblin' Man. Beaver, PA

1959 Rambler Cross Country Super station wagon.

 

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,

Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.

And when it's time for leavin',

I hope you'll understand,

That I was born a ramblin' man.

American Motors had a history-making year of sales in 1959. There were four basic model ranges: American, Rambler Six, Rebel and Ambassador. In the Rambler Six line, AMC bequeathed a simple new eggcrate grille with a gap between the grille and the hood where "RAMBLER" was spelled out in stand-up block letters. The Six line was further divided into Deluxe, Super and Custom levels in ascending order of trim. Supers were distinguished by a script callout in the rear door near the tip of the missile-shaped side trim spear. The Super Cross Country turned out to be the second-most-popular model in the Rambler Six range, with 66,739 examples produced, topped only by the Super four-door sedan, which rang up 72,577 sales units in 1959.
