Many people love the Nash Rambler parked in the Grizzly Peak Airfield at Disney California Adventure but most of them have no idea what the license plate stands for.
The license plate is a tribute to Roy E. Disney, whose career started with the True-Life Adventures, which was the inspiration for the Grizzly Peak Airfield. The 110 is a reference to his birthday on January 10th.
I'm sure many of you have taken a look at the beautiful Rambler in the Grizzly Peak Airfield next to Humphrey's. But how many of you are aware of the Rambler's ties into Disney history?
Before we get into the Disney ties, let's take a look around the Rambler! You can see that this vehicle is packed for an adventure!
It perfectly fits the time period and reminds a lot of us of those great family vacations!
Now the Rambler is recognized as one of the first successful modern American compact car manufactured by American Motors Corporation (AMC). AMC was one of the first sponsors for Walt Disney's television series. AMC was also the sponsor of Circarama in Tomorrowland in Disneyland.
Disney also created several commercials for AMC featuring some of their most beloved characters! Watch the video above!
