The 1967 AMC Ambassador


The Ambassador was the top-line automobile produced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1958 until 1974.
In 1967, AMC introduced a completely restyled Ambassador,the car once again looked completely new, with a more rounded appearance that sported sweeping rooflines, "coke-bottle" fenders, greater glass area, and a recessed grille that bowed forward less than that of the 1965-66 models. Taillights were wider, rectangular, and divided by one central vertical bar. The 880 two-door sedans sported the identical roofline as the hardtops, but had slim B-pillars that gave them a more open-air coupe appearance.
AMC's long-lived 327 CID V8 engine was finally replaced by an all-new 343 cu in. With a 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust,which produced 280 bhp.
Unfortunately, sales of the redesigned models were disappointly.
