Now I am old enough to not only remember Kelvinators but I had the distinct pleasure of working on many Ramblers of the day.......They were a bit behind the times as I recall. Still had flathead engines when everyone else had OHV's. They aslo used some really ancient stuff in the front end and had the last closed driveshaft-torque tube arrangement that I recall. I had an old lady customer with a Rambler wagon......manual trans and a flathead. She used to ride that clutch to death and I changed it more than once. Disconnect the entire rear and roll it rearward to get the trans and clutch out.....

I do recall an old Rambler that layed in our station for a good long while with a 327 ohv V8 and I think it had a 4 barrel carb. It was an AMC engine not a Chevy......


I also worked on postal vehicles some and Jeeps later in my mechanic life......AM General built the Post offfice vehicles out of some the cheapest parts they could find......Maybe they still build them ?

Now Jeeps were my real favorites back in the mid to late 70's.........I worked in a dealership...Pontiac-Jeep-Subaru.........Seemed to me like the Jeeps were built with almost anything AMC could find laying around.......you just never knew what was under that hood !!! LOL....

GM was doing the same thing though........Pontiacs had all kinds of engines under the hoods.....A class action suit was won over that one......

Kelvinators were actually pretty good refrigerators I think.............
