"You could probably persuade more readers, without the smarta$$ attitude"

Probably we all could. But in your case the superficial analysis makes that aspect of persuasion moot.

Gee I grew up on Ramblers-my parents bought their first new car in 1961-a Rambler station wagon-yep the ones whose front seats folded all the way down. They bought a 1966 Marlin which I still have and am restoring. Between my parents and I we also bought a Javlin and two station wagons in the 1980’s.

In the early 1960’s if you bought a Rambler, the deal could let you go to Kenosha, WI and pick up your car at the factory.
Ours wasn’t ready but the dealer sent my parents and I (11 at the time) to the factory and they drove two cars back for him.
