Background
The Ambassador is an automobile manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from model year 1957 through 1974. Over its eight generations, Ambassadors were available in two- and four-door sedans, two- and four-door hardtops, four-door station wagons, and two-door convertibles. The cars were classified as a full-size car from 1957 through 1961, a mid-size from 1962 until 1966, and again as a full-size car from 1967 through 1974. The Ambassador was positioned at the top as the flagship line for the automaker, featuring more standard equipment, higher levels of trim, or increased size.
