The AMC Rambler Classic was marketed as an intermediate sized car built over three geneerations from 1961-66, the Classic was the high volume seller of the AMC range.
The 1965 model year Classics underwent a major redesign of the new platform that was introduced in 1963 for the 1964 model year, with the family look of the Ambassador on a 112 inch wheelbase and a 195 inch body length.

Classics received particular attention to the styling of the roofs for 1966. The two-door hardtop models received a rectangular rear window and more formal and angular "crisp-line" roofline that could be covered with vinyl trim. Sedans had an optional trim-outlined "halo" roof accent colour. ..
