Letters: Rambler Comments

Dear Sir:

I noted the Rambler picture on the inside back cover of the November-December 1971 issue of ANTIQUE AUTOMOBILE.

To further identify the car, it is a 1905 Series 1 Rambler.  It is a two-cylinder car with a crank on the side with the running board scooped out to provide clearance.  It has a single chain drive to the rear axle and has a planetary transmission though it uses a cone clutch to disconnect the transmission.  The engine is hidden by a leather oil drop apron instead of the usual metal pans.

Thought you would like to know of this model as almost nothing appears in literature form.
