In sOite of this,o0r competitors continue to add netiv models each year. We feel. they know the public wants sensibly -sized cars but are reluctant to drop existing lines. We have _no such problem. We went info this field because we knew the kind of car you were lookibg for. And we continue to, build only sensibly -sized cars because we believe in them. We offer only three Ramblers. The economical American, Canada's lowest priced compact, the all-purpose Classic with $1,000 worth of extras and the luxurious Ambassador V-8 that gives you top performance. We believe that from these three you,may choose the car you want and need. From the introduction of our first Rambler, .we have stressed maximum usefulness to the " 'user. Obr guiding policy has been "no change - for the sake of change". And this included costly styling changes. Rather than add to the variety of models and sizes, we have - - concentrated on major improvements.
