- Rambler Six
The Rambler Six was an intermediate sized automobile that was built and sold by
American Motors Corporation (AMC). The Rambler was sold under the Nash and Hudson brand names. However, this model became the replacement for the large-sized Nash and Hudson models that suffered from dwindling sales. In 1957, the Rambler was established as a separatemarque and these models became the foundation for the company's best sales through the late 1950s.In 1956, the four-door Rambler models were completely redesigned and the short-
wheelbase two-door versions were dropped. The new line retained the convert|108|in|0|adj=on wheelbase, but the overall length was increased. The new Ramblers came only as four-door models. Along with the usual four-door sedan andstation wagon was a new four-doorhardtop sedan. Also, Rambler introduced an industry first, a four-door hardtop station wagon.A companion model featuring AMC's new high-performance Auto CID|327 V8 engine was introduced in 1957. This was the
Rambler Rebel and it was an early "muscle car ."American Motors lter began the process of differentiating the Rambler brand name from its various sizes and similar model names. The Rambler Six and Rambler Rebel V8 were both renamed the
Rambler Classic in 1961.References
