I can remember when the song first came out in 58,   and my mom not getting the joke.

She complained no car could go over 100 mph in second gear, she failed to see the humor.

Amazing that was made in the sixties. They were really ahead of their time. What freaks me, is how pristine the Rambler American is. Thanks for posting.

It's not just AMC owners, either. On one of the Porsche forums, there was a guy with a stock Bentley Continental GT that would do 250 mph. He knew for a fact that it was true because the salesman told him so. And nobody was calling him on it!
