context_page_description: The Ambassador is a full-size automobile manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation from 1957-1974 over eight generations, in two-and four-door sedan, two-door hardtop, station wagon and convertible body styles.
  When discontinued, the Ambassador nameplate had been used from 1927-1974, the longest continuously-used car nameplate until then. The Ambassador nameplate was used variously as the Ambassador V-8 by Rambler, Rambler Ambassador, and finally AMC Ambassador. Previously, the nameplate Ambassador applied to Nash's full-size cars. The nameplate referred to a trim level between 1927 and 1931.
  Ambassadors were manufactured in Kenosha, Wisconsin as well as at AMC's Brampton Assembly in Brampton, Ontario from 1963 to 1966. Australian Motor Industries assembled Ambassadors from knock-down kits with right-hand drive from 1961 to 1963. The U.S. fifth generation Ambassadors were manufactured by Industrias Kaiser Argentina in Córdoba, Argentina from 1965 to 1972, as well as assembled by ECASA in Costa Rica from 1965 to 1970. Planta REO assembled first-generation Ambassadors in Mexico at its Monterrey, Nuevo León plant.
