Cars for the entire family: Class of ’66
[complementing “Truck Tuesday: Class of ’56”]
1966 AMC Ambassador: comfort is not a luxury
1966 Caprice: more than an elegant new car
1966 Ford LTD: quieter than a Mark 10 Jaguar
1966 Plymouth Fury: still the inside story
The pictures show clearly how little AMC was short on $$ for product development. The 4-year-old Ambassador body clearly shows it’s age against the second-year cars from the ‘big 3’. An all-new ‘big car’ body would debut for ’67, but by then AMC was all but out of the ‘family car’ (mid-sizes/full-sized) battle, concentrating on smaller cars.
