Sorry...I was Born and Raised in CA.
It was just a Yellow AMC Rambler 6-Cy;. You know...the one with the "Pull
the knob under the dash overdrive". ;)

That's because you guys are in TX. We could never get it that cheap in
Calif. We did have Ramblers and Nashes though....and a few Studebakers too.

Heee, Hee,... you, too, huh? What a neat deal. It was like running an a/c
compressor with none of the benefits of a/c. It was supposed to burn the
"unspent" fuel that made it past the combustion process. Right/ Why not
burn the fuel where it'll do the most good?
Cheapest gas I ever saw from the backseat of the Rambler (or was it the
Nash Airflyte?) was 11.9 cents per gallon in a gas war. Least I ever paid
was 21.9 cents a gallon.
