+Kenneth Lewis I owned several of these and loved them, but they did all rust away here in New England and gone in 3 or 4 years! Loved my 2 AMCs= no rust LOL

This is so funny! They sure never mention that the Comet was a reskinned Falcon with a 2" stretch in the wheelbase. Makes you wonder why people didn't notice that stretch behind the back doors...

+Bobby Brady Obviously you don't know your auto history, son. Waste of my time to try to educate you...

Mustang was also a reskinned Falcon. More recently, the Focus is a reskinned Escort. Ford hasn't had a new idea or an independent thought since the Model A.

The Comet with the 144 engine had the worst power to weight ratio of any American car of the time. I had a '60 Falcon with the same engine (lighter & quicker than the Comet) and it couldn't keep up with the Rambler ( American or Classic). The !95.6 Rambler engine produced 127 HP against 90 from the 144 Ford/Mercury engine & the Rambler had much more bottom-end torque from it's longer stroke. The 144 had to be revved hard to get any poweer out of it. Some of the critisms are valid but not all.

I was four years old when my mother, driving a 1963 Comet station wagon, was struck by another car. Playing in the back, my sister and I were thrown through the side rear window from the vehicle. I wasn't expected to survive and my sister and mother died at the hospital. After being raised by my grandparents, who died seven months apart when I was fifteen, I can tell you that my mom should've bought the Rambler.

Yes indeed, I'd definitely have paid the extra money for the Rambler. Better build quality, more solid construction, worlds better engine performance - I can't even imagine a Comet with an automatic.. oh, wait, yes I can. You floored it until you were up to speed and if you are old enough to remember them you know I am not kidding.

My Dad had 2 Ramblers, a '57 and a '59. They came with optional overdrive. He liked them. He thought they were a bit ugly, but he didn't care because they were very comfortable long distance cruisers. He later bought a comet as a second car and sold it almost immediately. I asked him why and he just laughed and shook his head.

Typical 1950's B.S. "Our Car is prettier" says Ford. "Our engine is smaller, meaning it gets better economy!" While that may be true in some words, the Comet was a heavier car than Rambler meaning it was slower and chances are, used more fuel to move that heavy Comet. Still, fun to watch :)

oldfartatplay1320 commented on 22 Mar 2012

I'd still rather have the Rambler. For one thing, a longer stroke means better use of the fuel, and for another, Ford couldn't build a good inline six to save their souls. (Until the '70's, when they came out with that ball-busting 300 c.i. )

Wow!! That Comet was just all that and a bag of chips over the Rambler. If you bought a Classic Deluxe, you bought a pile of Detroit dog doo, at least per a Comet dealer. Golly!!

John Texas commented on 23 Apr 2012

This Comet was a Falcon restyled. Flimsy car, and those of us old enough remember that.

I had a Rambler, great car, Comet didn't have reclining seats

In the 70s, an elderly couple across the road had a 4-door Rambler, not certain which year, but I think a bit newer than the one featured here.

Correct! No sound. These films were shot for TV news. The car companies would shoot about 60 seconds-worth of film. Then they would write their own canned script. They would send the script and the reel of film to TV stations all across the country hoping to get some free coverage on the local news. The TV stations liked these stories, because they didn't have to do any work. Read the script. Synchronize the film. Free publicity for the car companies.

@NBZist AMC produced dealer introduction films from 1969 to at least 1973. Maybe more. I don't know, because they're freakin' rare. However, I have a choppy/splicy copy of the 1971 AMC intro film. It includes a segment on the '71 Hornet SC/360. It's the only factory footage of this car that I know of, and it's the only copy of this film that I know of. Someday, I'll find a way to share it with all of you.

Torq-O commented on 15 Sep 2011

AMC produced three Love-'Em-Or-Hate-'Em cars: the Gremlin, the Pacer, and the Matador Coupe. Even after all these years, people are still split right down the middle.

Twaddles McGee commented on 12 Mar 2015

I don't give a shit what the haters say it's a pretty car especially when compared to the shit they make now that all looks alike. Those are real bumpers!
