1960 Rambler American Sedan

Here's an appropriately-named car for the 4th of July! The American was Rambler's compact, and was the cheapest American car in the late '50s. In 1960, the American had to compete with the more modern compacts from the big three, but still enjoyed moderate success, due to the economy and efficiency of the older car. This sedan has an add-on continental kit spare, color matched to the very fitting white and turquoise two-tone.

 

 

 

 

1957 Hillman Minx

The Hillman Minx was one of a few Rootes Group cars exported to the U.S. in the '50s and early 60s. Designed by Raymond Loewy (of Studebaker fame), the Minx was unpopular in the U.S. market. Seeing one today is rare, on account of the low starting number, and low survival rate. The aqua and white two-tone on this sedan, excuse me, saloon, looks great, and the patina is perfect.

 

 

  

 

 

1963 Chevrolet Nova SS

The Nova was Chevy's compact, and arrived in 1962. The car shown here is a first generation model, but the Nova would have 4 generations until 1979, and then the name was revived in the eighties for a rebadged Toyota. Available as a top level performance option was the SS package, introduced in 1963. However, unlike later SS badged cars, this one was simply an appearance package and had no additional performance gains. Despite that, these SS's are still very collectible, making this patina'd coupe an interesting and cool sight.
