People didn't pay much attention to them back then which made them sneaky police cars.

Why does everyone always only talk about how: "It's slow and oh so terrible"? The Ambassador wasn't made for speed, it was made for quiet serene comfort on long Highway trips or on the way to work. Everyone needs to stop viewing 70's luxury sedans as "Oh, it has a V8 so it's got to make heaps of power and lay down Burnouts on every corner" machines, that's not what these cars were intended to be. If you wanted an AMC that made heaps of power you bought a Javelin. We own a 1977 Lincoln Versailles, a car that is always described as a terrible failure, and is criticized for "only being a Granada". But if you actually drive it you realize it's so much more than that. It's the most comfortable, quiet and soft ride you could ever imagine. That's what these cars are about. You aren't meant to drive 100 mph with them and leave tire marks at every stop sign, you're supposed to drive 55 with one hand on the steering wheel listening to Fleetwood Mac. That's the true purpose of 70's luxury sedans.

It's important not to fall into the habit of looking at older cars through the prism of today. This car was a perfect product of its time, and of its maker, AMC. If you were to put together a time capsule of 1972, this car would embody everything that made that era what it was. This is the car of folks whose living rooms had sofas covered in herculon, sitting on shag carpet which was dutifully raked each evening before Dad came home from work. This is the car of folks who gathered at the dinner table promptly at 6:00 in a kitchen with avocado green appliances, and a matching rotary wall phone with an extra long cord.This is the car for the man who never stood out academically, but who managed to land an accounting job in a conservative firm that offered a decent salary and pension plan. This is the car for the family who had a yearly portrait taken at Olan Mills every Easter Sunday, and who sent an 8x10 to Grandma, and wallet sized copies to former classmates. This is the car for the man who makes love to his wife every Friday night at 11:30 after the Tonight Show is over, whether he wants to or not. Not all cars, then or now, are meant to be performance cars. Not every driver needs to drift in front of a crowd in order to impress others and make up for the deficiencies in his underwear. Some drivers appreciate a car's ability to separate him from the ills of the road, and make a long drive a bit more comfortable. Some drivers like soft, cushy seats and quiet exhaust systems. Some men like staid, understated cars like the Ambassador. And yes, some men just like brown.

As a kid, it was fun bonding time with Dad and big brother working on the cars on Saturdays. Oil changes, starters, alternators, mufflers, fan belts, distributor caps, plugs and wires, and later on, complete tune-ups with a Sears analyzer and timing light. For Dad, I bet it wasn't so much fun. Something was always breaking or wearing out on those cars. Dad worked close to home, Mom didn't work at all. It took YEARS to get to 60 or 70K miles. I have 144K on a 2014 Ram and I haven't had to change JACK SHYT on it besides oil and tires.

The version of the car sold in the UK was RHD, but they didn’t bother to swap the longer door to the other side. XD

Actually, something is wrong with that car. And my guess is the rear axle ratio. Mom owned a 73 that would have been identical except hers had the trailer towing package and was blue with white top. It was special ordered with the 1972 interior materials in blue. She stepped on the gas one day at a stop light right next to a police car and smoked the tires. The look on the cops face was priceless. I later had a 73 that would have beat hers in everything but MPG. It had a 401 with a police package. If you passed a gas station, you did so at your own peril. But the car could do every bit of what it showed on the certified speedometer. Which I still have. And somewhere, the siren out of it too.

I love how the rear doors have like one square inch of vinyl and a tiny little piece of trim at the back corner of the door. It's like the designer of the back door didn't realize how far down the roof was gonna go, and at the last second, they realized the roof was gonna need a chunk taken out of it to make the door fit, so they glued a piece of vinyl and a piece of trim there to make it look complete.

This is, without a doubt, the most regular car you have yet covered. The anonymous sedan in every cop/private detective show that gets hit by another car when the bad guy runs a red light. The car parked on a street to establish “this film is set in the 1970s”. It is the plain black coffee of the automotive world. On a positive note, it was the perfect undercover car for any 1970s to early 1980s cops, because absolutely NO ONE would notice you.

Rated at 175HP in 1972 would be approximately 240 hp a year earlier when they were gross HP figures rather than net HP. Furthermore compression ratios were on the decline starting in late 70 early 71’ for the impending unleaded fuel. As also noted by another commenter, it is a 360 cubic inch engine in 72’. Litres were measurements for those across the pond. I would much rather drive this than a new appliance.

AMC did not cut theirs back until 1974. Now how did they do it? They installed thicker head gaskets that year. In 1977 I had to use the same gaskets to lower the compression in my 69 AMX when I rebuilt the engine. An error by the seller of a machined crankshaft resulted in a 401's crank being installed in my 390 block. Which took away all of the deck clearance. Which resulted in blown head gaskets, even aftermarket Fel Pros. The thicker gaskets lowered the compression enough that it never blew another gasket. But you still needed two batteries to start it when hot. Had to chain the engine down as the engine mounts alone could not restrain it if pushed hard.

This car would make my grandpa proud. He was an electrical engineer and became the head of research and development at PECO. He lived in a average house he had build in a complex in 1966 in the rural area of New Jersey. He drove a 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 he purchased when he gave up on his 1969 Grand Turino. This car would be perfect for him

If no one waves at you while driving or riding in a 72 AMC Ambassador, then maybe I should get one. I would get “alone time” finally. Thank you for an amazing video. 👍

I had one as a Winter beater in 1979 while I stored my '70 Camaro and '65 Vette. Floor boards let slush in (they were rusted out) but it survived a Winter. I left it parked in a nondescript parking lot when it became Spring. Best $100 I ever spent. Still, this example, I wouldn't have left it behind. :) And, yeah, things were a bit different it the '70s - abandoned cars, in the North, were all over the place.

Brome sounds like bromium - something you give people to reduce their sexual drives.

Actually it's Brougham. Cadillac had a big Brougham sedan in the 1970s. It had brocade inside forever, mostly in green or gold.

Quite possibly the most regular car you've had on here. So under the radar.

I love oddballs, unusual and lesser-known cars - a ‘72 Ambassador ticks all those boxes.

I like it. Body shape is quite nice and the all-brown-style is so original 70ties...
