The Rambler Classic is a mid sized car built by American Motors Corporation (AMC) from 1961 to 1966.

The 1961 Rambler Classic was a reskinned version of the "Rambler Six", a car that originated in 1956. The 1961 Classic featured a new front end with a one-piece, rectangular extruded-aluminum grille, new fenders, hood, sculptured door panels, and side trim, as well as one-piece bumpers. It was available in either an inline 6 195.6 cu in or with a V8 - 250 cu in engine.

The front grille was modified for 1962, and a revised rear end received new round tail lamps, while the previous tailfins were "shaved off". Twin circuit brakes were introduced.

in 1963 the Rambler Classic was completely redesigned. The new AMC cars incorporated numerous engineering solutions. Among these was curved side glass, one of the earliest popular-priced cars with this feature. Another engineering breakthrough was combining separate parts in the monocoque (unit construction) body into single stampings. Once again, it was smaller than most US cars of its era, and this led to it being assembled in a number of countries including Australia, New Zealand, Belsium, Argentina and Canada.

In 1964 model the Classic, were refined with stainless steel rocker moldings, a flush single-plane aluminum grille replacing the previous year's deep concave design, and oval tail-lamps replacing the flush mounted lenses of the 1963's. A new two-door model joined the line, only available in the top "770" trim. A sporty 770-H version featured individually adjustable reclining bucket seats, as well as center a console.

The 1965 car was a major redesign, although the undelying car was basically unchanged. For the first time a convertible model was available in the 770 trim version, and the two-door sedan was dropped from the 770 model lineup.

In 1966 only minor cosmetic changes were made.
