AMX Rambler/Nash Palm Beach (Pininfarina), 1956
This
was a forecast/dream car for American Motors/Nash. This "one off" Palm
Beach concept exemplifies the ideas that could have possibly directed
American Motors to greater success in 1956. This one-of-a-kind Italian
dreamcar was unfortunately never given consideration for production.
Executed
to the requirements of the American Nash Corporation is Farina's
special Palm Beach Nash Rambler. It is an elegant two-seater coupe,
aimed specifically at the U.S.A. sporting market. The sides are convex
from the front to the central section of the car and the removable top
is fashioned with a shallow channel under the rear window. Unusual is
the use of thick Plexiglas bumpers, which are styled into the lamp
decor. Although they would be ineffective in a heavy collision, they
should serve well for manoeuvring in traffic as the material is very
resilient and saves a lot of weight.
