The Rambler was manufactured by American Motors Corporation (AMC) between 1958 and 1969. The AMC Rambler American was the first Rambler offered by AMC. A reintroduction of the 1955 Nash Rambler, the AMC Rambler American marks the only time an old car was successfully re-introduced to the market. Over the years, the Rambler endured many design changes, but always maintained its reputation as a reliable, sturdy, and economical (fuel-efficient) car.

The AMC Rambler Convertible Top Buyer's Guide

The AMC Rambler convertible top was originally made of Haartz pinpoint vinyl, a fabric original to most American cars made between 1950 and 1999. "Pinpoint" refers to the little dots or "pips" that you see on the vinyl surface.

Along with Haartz pinpoint vinyl, we offer the AMC Rambler convertible top in Haartz Stayfast Canvas, which is the top we recommend. This durable top has a canvas outer layer and a preshrunk cotton inner layer. The two layers are bonded with a butyl rubber core, which makes this top the most durable convertible top for the AMC Rambler.

You can purchase the AMC Rambler convertible top on its own, or you can opt for a money-savings package. Along with a convertible top, our AMC Rambler convertible top packages offer a do-it-yourself installation manual, cables, pads/webbing, tack strips, and glue kits all for one low price.

If you can use an air-driven staple gun, and are patient and methodical, you are very likely to be able to install an AMC Rambler convertible top. Installing your own AMC Rambler convertible top can save you hundreds of dollars in restoration labor costs!

We offer a profusely illustrated convertible top manual, now in its fourth edition. This covers, in detail, all the steps for do-it-yourself convertible top installation. In particular, the manual applies to cars, like the AMC Rambler, with a two-part convertible top. You may purchase the manual to review it before purchasing a convertible top package. We would then pro-rate future purchase of the convertible top when it is ordered.
