The Canadian dollar must have taken a beating against the US dollar during the '67 model year. Price changes during the model year were common in the US when inflation was on the rise. ------------- 74 Hornet Hatchback X twins (since 1977) 62 American Convertible (still worth the $50 I spent in 1973!)

AMC cars weren't selling well during 1967, so they did a mid-year price drop. The local Rambler dealer here put an ad in the paper reading "Housewife's special -- Rambler American 79ยข a pound". The car I bought from my neighbor many years ago neighbor came with the original dealer receipt from Lakeview Rambler in Woodcliff Lake NJ. The car was ordered to the customer's specs: 1967 American 220 4-door sedan Paint -- stallion metallic brown HD springs & shocks rear snow tires in place of regular tires automatic transmission Total price $2143.43 |
