The Rambler American is a compact car that was manufactured by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) between 1958 and 1969. They were also built in Argentina by IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) in Cordoba.

Several generations of the model were produced between 1962 and 1972 under the name Rambler Ambassador and were used by top government officials as well as former presidents. One of the variants with a powerful 3.8-litre Tornado engine was used on a stretched limousine model called the 990.

In June 1966, when Juan Carlos Onganía Carballo became President, instructions came from the Presidential Office to IKA to build a car that would not only be armoured but also have a partition between the front and rear seats. This scale model is a rendition of that same car.
