'60's or early '70's, when the converted the flathead engine to a 230 CID

Rambler's  last L-head six of 196 cubic inches was offered for 1965 in the 
American 220  and 330 series.  Checker offered the old Continental Red Seal 
flathead  six in their cars until 1965, but that engine was available with 
overhead  valves as an option during the Fifties and Sixties.  From 1965 on  
they substituted Chevy OHV sixes and V8s.
So I think 1965 was the end  of the line for production flathead engines in 
the United States...Bill  Hershkowitz 66 Monza Sport Sedan 110 PG  A/C
