  2. Looks very similar to the Rambler my dad owned in 1969, when I was 9 years old. My brothers and I weren't real impressed with the car, but we were fascinated by the necker's knob.

  3. Painting huh? Very nice. Is a neckers knob on the steering wheel? If so, they were popular in the 50's and 60's. Usually had a nekkid gurl in it.

    1. Yeah, the necker's knob was on the steering wheel, Ghostsniper. My dad's did not have a nekkid girl on it, but he did educate us on why he had one, which was so he could drive with his arm around mom. We liked that idea of driving one handed with your arm around your gal. Mostly see them nowadays on semi trucks.
