Rambler returns under new trademark, heralding postwar small cars

Nash-Kelvinator files trademarks for the Rambler and Statesman on May 22, 1950. Later that year, the Rambler, a nameplate first used in the early 1900s, became one of America's first successful compacts, and part of the beginning of the end of Detroit's one-size-fits-all approach to building and selling cars.
