Gasser Rambler Wagon – Thought I was the Only Crazy
Gasser Rambler – Four Door Baddess!
Feast your eyes on this beauty spotted at the LA Roadster Show.
Yea, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to dream about a 4-door wagon built as a gasser. While I dreamed about it, this person (be happy to publish your name if I knew it) actually built it, then had it for sale in the swap area. Pure madness! I love it!! (Dig the super long ladder bars showing here!)
From the other side. You see the only (small) flaw in the as-found patina of this Rambler Ambassador “Super”. I’ll say! (Can someone verify the year for me?) I dig the way the flaked helmet is reflecting on the front wheel. Dream yourself behind the wheel… on the track or rolling through your neighborhood with neighbors shaking their heads and kids running for cover!
So I said I dreamed it and my buddy Joel drew it for me! This bad boy’s still sitting on the side of my house waiting for it’s turn. My friends will tell you, don’t hold your breath! One day, some incarnation of a nasty Rambler wagon will appear on the streets with me behind the wheel!
Here’s a link to the story about Rambler Wagons including this drawing. Are you crazy too? Tell me you don’t dig this! And please send me an email to get a custom drawing like this of your vision. Email pikesan

I think this is great. There’s an absurd beauty to it, not crazy at all just plain cool!
I believe it is a 58 Rambler wagon although they did not change much body wise 57-59 and possibly 1960
Thanks Frank. What are the keys to knowing it’s a 58? You a rambler guy?
Who had twin headlights in 1957 cept for Cadillac? could be a ’58
Never thought about that… if anyone knows, I’d love to be SURE…
’58 or ’59, I haven’t nailed it down yet. Spotted the pic on a FB Gasser page, and love it. Old wagons rock enough on their own. But done up as a Gasser is always cool. This particular wagon body is perfect as a Gasser, to me. Bout the best lookin wagon body I’ve ever seen. I’m diggin it big time. Would love to build one as a Gasser, and have been thinking about building a Gasser already. Was thinking Tri 5, but now……I might just have found the right body to take the lead in my book.
I must find out more on this particular car, if at all possible. Cuzz I just might have to duplicate it, albeit finished, with a 4spd and Scotts Super Slot topped blower motor (Hemi, Rat, or AMC).
Hi Laurence,
Shawn the owner of the car out of Wild Omars Speed and Custom, in Wildomar CA sent over a little info. I still need to call him to get the details! He said the 58 and 59 Ramblers are the same, so no need for us to figure it out…
