My Dad travelled for work, and bought a new car every year. From 1965 to 1978, he drove AMC vehicles. Classics, Ambassadors, Americans, Pacers, Matadors and Hornets. He particularly liked the upholstery and cabin appointments. The 1968 Ambassador came with no cost factory air conditioning. The only two problems I remember were with a 67 Ambassador, and a 74 Hornet. The 67 had a charging issue that was corrected, and the Hornet 360 lunched it's engine the first day- fixed instantly under warranty.
Dad preferred to deal with small rural dealerships. The big three were promoting urban mega-dealerships at that time. AMC dealers still had sidelines like Nuffield or Leland tractors, or short line equipment. It was a lot more fun to poke around their yards while Dad was making a deal on an exciting new car.
