Rambler Metropolitan? Okay, probably worth doing. But a friggin' Rambler station wagon? I say again. Why?
When I was in the service ( both USAF and Army) I noticed a lot of the enlisted men with families had station wagons, and a lot of those station wagons were AMC's. They chose SW's because it made it easier on them when uncle stationed them somewhere else, and they had move themselves, and all their possessions to the next base. And AMC were of a reasonable price, and dependable. I got my first car ( 57 Rambler SW) from a older brother, who moved his family back to my home town when he got orders for Vietnam in 1963.
He gave the car to me. And I've had at least one AMC ever since., Right now I've got 5. Over 50 years of AMC ownership.
Like I said, if it's got to be explained, there are some that just won't understand.
 
AMX was one of my favorites, also have to chuckle a bit, a girl in HS had a Nash Metro. Her name was Holley Weber. Dad had a sense of humor

The "brown" bombs are actually yellow, and are the same 250lb HE bombs as the green examples. The yellow colour was used in the early years of WW2, but very soon changed to dark green when it was realised that piles of yellow bombs, stored in mainly open air bomb dumps on airfields, were rather noticeable from the air !
Of course, the yellow colour could still be seen on bombs after the colour change, until stocks were exhausted, hence tyhe mix of colours in the photo.
