77 Gremlin
editHey I just purchased this gremlin! I’m reading online about it on the drive back home to Wisconsin and I came across this page and the photo of it with the original price tag, which is still in it. Hasn’t changed since 2014 and I’m beyond excited to own it. Just thought it was cool to see it on the internet, first prompted site to use and it’s photos of my car ! 174.251.208.62 (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- It is good to know that you are a new and proud owner of an AMC Gremlin. I look forward to seeing it at an AMC or other classic car show. Enjoy your Gremlin and take care! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Using your 1963 Studebaker Avanti photo at hobbyDB
editHello! Just letting you know that we're using your 1963 Studebaker Avanti photo at hobbyDB as the main photo on our database entry for the '63-'64 Avanti. We're documenting every Avanti model and that page is kind of a director to them. Thanks for making such a fantastic photo available to use! — HotWheels53 (talk) 16:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- Greetings HotWheels53,
- Taking on the task of documenting the Studebaker Avanti model cars is most interesting and a valuable source for collectors. I am glad that you are using the picture of the "real" car on the webpage. This car was on display during an art show and a presentation by Milton J. Antonick at Concord University. Mr. Antonick worked on designing Studebakers in the early 1960s and moded to Chrysler where he had a hand in cars such as the Plymouth Barracuda and Roadrunner.
- Many thanks for letting me know about the Avanti image use! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Recognize the Ambassador wagon
editHi,
Didn't use your images but I recognize the car. I own it now! And it looks pretty much the same, runs great, and is driven often. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baclarkson (talk • contribs) 17:46, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have a soft spot for AMC Ambassador station wagons as my parents had two of them. The first was a 1968 SST finished in Scarab Gold with a matching gold interior. It was equipped with the 343 CID 2-barrel V8, power-disk brakes, A/C, AM/FM radio, cruise control, etc. It saw heavy-duty work with over 300,000 miles on the clock before they sold it and the second owner put many more miles on it. The second was the last lear of the Ambassador was offered. This 1974 was finished in white with the standard wood-grain body trim and the interior in blue. This was a gorgeous and comfortable highway cruiser with the 360 CID 2-barrel V8. It had more interior space than most large SUVs in the 2020s. For example, it was easy to load up 8-foot-long lumber and close the 2-way tailgate. This big wagon would swallow cargo and still have plenty of room for six adult passengers. It was a workhorse. I wish someone would now offer such a practical design with the Ambassador's room and looks.
- I hope you are enjoying your Ambassador wagon! Keep on AMCing! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

- I am pleased to know that the image helps illustrate the information you are providing about this special muscle car by American Motors (AMC).
- Keep up the good work! CZmarlin (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Smaller images, now?
editNot complaining. But has something changed this year, concerning image sizes? Lately, many editors are rejecting any attempts to enlarge images. GoodDay (talk) 02:33, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hello GoodDay,
- Although specifying a larger image size may provide more detail, the WP style guidelines state that "except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels should not be specified." This is because individual users can specify their image base width setting. Therefore, it is best to keep the images in default mode and only use the "upright=scaling factor" if absolutely necessary. There are specific suggestions as to when different scaling can be used such as in the cases of vertical or portrait (rather than the standard landscape pictures) as well as for very wide panoramas. Please see MOS:IMGSIZE for more information.
- I hope this helps! Cheers, CZmarlin (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Hornet cars
editI think it’s funny that Dodge now has a Hornet and I am posting your picture of two AMC Hornets to a limited audience of friends on Facebook. I grew up in Kenosha in the 70’s. 2600:6C55:4B00:971:70D3:AB3:E9B3:E6CA (talk) 01:07, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Just to say thanks
editthanks for the 'go happy' vanity plate photo. Just what I was looking for!
Credit has been given. Red2581729 (talk) 16:10, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- Good to know that you found the image with the vanity plate to your liking. It made me smile as well. I wish there would be more like that one! Unfortunately, I saw a car on the road with state of Virginia vanity tag that was "HWY2ELL" ... That seems to provide a more negative message compared to "GO HAPPY". Cheers 22:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Eagle Premier
editHi CZ, might you have any more info regarding the Autocar & Motor reference you added here many many years ago? I understand if not, but it irks me to see warnings regarding the missing title. Best regards, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:46, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, Mr.choppers! Unfortunately, updating that article was quite some time ago and I do not remember all of details. Moreover, the formatting for references back then did not prompt for that information. Things are much better now. Nevertheless, updating referenced is one of my tasks to help improve WP articles. ~ CZmarlin (talk) 22:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Are SUVs useless? (Video presentation)
editI need to use this image for a video presentation titled “Are SUVs useless”. In the video, I give a brief overview of what SUVs are, classes of SUVs, and establish my final thoughts about them. I’ll make sure to credit you and provide a link to you. 2600:1700:77A4:C190:B4C7:3136:5190:C6A6 (talk) 22:07, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! The current infatuation of consumers with SUV is rather strange in my opinion. They have far less room for passengers and cargo than minivans or even traditional station wagons. I can load 4x8-foot sheets of plywood into my Dodge minivan that is shorter than most SUVs that only have room for groceries! Cheers ~ CZmarlin (talk) 22:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Image Use for Presentation
editI will be using your image in a presentation - video of the presentation may eventual go online. The car demonstrates the popularity of the two toned paint job that was popular in the 20's. Your name will be cited. Thank you! 2603:8000:CF00:6283:106A:B9D2:EDCE:91C2 (talk) 06:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Nash engine
editI thought about what to title Nash Rambler straight-six engine for a while - second place was Nash 600 straight-six engine, but I think it's better known as the Rambler. If you have any better ideas, do tell. Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:11, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Mr.choppers! The title you provided is great. It includes the original Nash development and use of this engine in their cars, as well as the upgrades and changes made when it was marketed by Rambler (the name best known and brand promoted by American Motors). I think this title should also make it easier to find when doing an Internet search. Thank you for improving the coverage in WP! ~ CZmarlin (talk) 13:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you - rare to find an AMC-branded rock that you left unturned... I also love that the engine was initially marketed as the "Flying Scot." Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:21, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, Mr. Choppers! Finding the "hidden" information under rocks is a fun activity! It is like mentioning the "Flying Scot" descriptor. A promotion in contrast to the "Yeah, it's got a Hemi" approach. Nash's "Flying Scott" marketing superlative was for a much different era and also to help attract a specific customer segment compared to their 234.8 CID I6 with OHV introduced in 1934 with "Twin-Ignition" that later transformed into the "Jet Fire" engine. Similarly, the Chevrolet truck engine known as the "Stovebolt Six" was transformed into the boastful "Blue Flame Six" for use in the original Corvettes. Describing these historical circumstances is helpful. For example, I know of Vette enthusiasts who were clueless about their beloved models' humble performance and origins! Keep on uncovering more! ~ CZmarlin (talk) 17:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
