I love Ramblers too. I've had a bunch.
They were excellent cars.I remember one I had was so quiet that when sitting in the drivers seat you couldn't hear or feel the engine run.
I remember trying to put a newer trans in one I had. It had an enclosed drive shaft. Meaning you had to unbolt the entire rear end and roll it backwards a few inches to remove the transmission.
I bought that one for 50 bucks 25 years ago. It was in a barn in Sam's Valley... and sold it for $400 .
In 1955 I worked for a short time on the assembly line at American Motors in El Segundo, CA adding the cowling below the windshields of the Nash Rambler.
(The reason it was a short time: I had to be 18 years old to work in an "industrial plant" and I was 3 month shy of 18. I told them I lost my drivers license. Two weeks later they canned me because I was a lier. I think I did good work, but a liar I was, and that was a fact. I have no opinion about the car. Never drove one.)
