Does anyone know how long CCM produced the Rambler. The earliest catalogue I have with it is 1939 and the latest is 1941, but I'm missing a number of catalogues around that time frame. Anyone know? Thanks,

John: Its not in the 1936, 32 or 33 catalogues, probably introduced in 37 or 38. Ron, what say you?
The lowest price adult bike inn these catalogues was the Crown with the Crescent being the next up in price. In 1941 catalogue the Rambler was the lowest price adult size bike at $36... and the Boy Scout was 50 cents more at $36.50.
I don't see any in the 50s catalogues, but the name shows up again in the 60s

John,
I purchased a CCM "Rambler" Motorbike at Jamie's winter show in Brantford two weeks ago. The serial # is 2H0656 which some charts date it as a 1942 (similar to other posts I have seen). Also other charts show 1942 to be XFXXXX. (Conflicting charts confused me)
I just picked up a navy blue Rambler # 4B6639 which the serial number charts indicate is a 1938. The head badge is the same as the one on Mark's Motorbike except the lettering is red.
