As I recall, my 1965 Rambler American had a flathead 6 engine and a Ford
automatic trans. It was a MUCH better car than my 1958 Rambler wagon with the
OHV 6 engine and manual trans.

In 1975 I bought my first new car. A VW Rabbit (Golf to you folks across the
pond) Custom. There were three trim levels in the Rabbit for 1975, with three
different types of brakes.
Basic = front drum brakes
Custom = front disk brakes
Deluxe = power disk brakes ( and a ridiculous restraint system with a shoulder
belt attached to the door, a padded knee-bar under the dash and NO LAP BELT)
