See corrections below. You don't often see fender skirts on an AMC product. That is a V8 Ambassador that appears very well equipped. Base price was 2,395 and it is rare, only 273 made.
price has almost doubled in 50 years.
Correction from my previous post. This is a Classic V8, Super Model, Base price $2397, with 2,156 built. Interestingly enough, except for the wagon models the higher priced Ambassadors sold better than the Classic V8's. Of course the I-6 Classics were the biggest sellers by a huge amount.
To the base price, add: Auto trans 229.50; Heater (probably) 82.50; PS 89.50, PB 41.95, radio (probably) 86.20; outside rear view mirrors 10.50; full wheel covers 16.95 and probably many more options that we can't say for sure. The dual spot lights, lake pipes and fender skirts are not listed as factory options. I am guessing this was around a $4,000 car when new.
All in all a very fine example of a popular car for AMC in 1961.
