60年来10大最丑轿车
|
漫步者Ambassador旅行者 1957年，米特•罗姆尼的父母乔治•罗姆尼还是美国汽车公司（American Motors）的负责人。老罗姆尼认为该公司旗下的纳什（Nash）和哈德逊（Hudson）这两个品牌已经没用了，因此他用漫步者（Rambler）取代了它们。 Ambassador是漫步者生产线上最重要的车型。这款中间没有支柱的硬顶旅行车特别难看。由于腰线的坡度陡然上升，因此整台车就好像从车后方三分之一处被砍成了两截。对于那些喜欢冒险的人来说，他们还可以选择木纹理的乙烯基贴纸。 不过无论是这款旅行车也好，无支柱的样式也好，还是美国汽车公司也好，它们最终都没能生存下来。美国汽车公司于1983年卖给了雷诺汽车公司（Renault），1987年又被并入克莱斯勒。 译者：朴成奎 |
Rambler Ambassador wagon In 1957, George Romney, father of Mitt, was running American Motors. He decided that his company's Nash and Hudson brands had outlived their usefulness, so he replaced them with Rambler. The Ambassador was the top of the line. The pillarless hardtop wagon was especially awkward, with the rear third looking disconnected from the front by virtue of a swooping belt line. Vinyl wood grain decals were available for the adventurous. In the end, neither the station wagon, the pillarless style, nor American Motors survived. The company was sold to Renault in 1983 and then absorbed by Chrysler in 1987. |
