Also, Rockford Rambler, out of (Rockford, Illinois)

They ran a Dealership Drag Race Car Set-up, a 1967 Rambler American, 440 2-Door Sedan 343/280 HP

In early-mid 1967, they would trailor their car to the drag strip,
to drag race and try to impress the young performance minded kids
with a Rambler Musclecar'

From Rockford, Illinois, to Oswego Drag Strip
(about 75 miles away).

Classed in NHRA B/Stock
The car ran impressive 13.40's,

But, they experienced some excessive body-flexing in the uni-body construction, as well as some axle-hopping, which in turn limited their
off the line launches.

But, they did impress,,,,,,as they did put away some Chevy's, Fords and
Mopars.
