Once upon a time, back in the 1950s and '60s, car companies regularly produced cameras with their brand name to give away with a new automobile purchase -or even with just a test drive. It was a great promotional tie-in, as everyone wanted to take a picture of their new car, or a picture of the family in a new car. A camera giveaway isn't all that exciting these days, since everyone carries one around in their phone already. But those cameras still exist, and they still work if you can find film for them and find a place to develop it.
But you don't have to, because Autoweek has a series of classic cars from bygone days photographed with the cameras that accompanied them. The latest installment is about Ramblers. That caught my eye, since my first husband drove an early '60s Rambler with a push-button starter. I only drove it a couple of times, and the last time was when the head gasket blew. I don't think he ever forgave me. But that's water under the bridge, and you may have some of your own memories that will be tweaked with a gallery of 1960s Rambler cars photographed with a Rambler camera.
