The Rambler Rebel was an automobile produced by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) of Kenosha, Wisconsin from 1957-60, and again in 1966 and 1967. 1957, American Motors surprised most observers with the December 1956 introduction of the Rambler Rebel – "a veritable supercar". Although AMC was best known for their reliable economy cars, this special model came with a bigger engine than anything found at Chevrolet, Ford, or Plymouth - the Rambler's most popular competitors at that time. The Rebel's US$2,786 MSRP base price was economical for the amount of power provided. It was the fastest stock American sedan, according to Motor Trend. The Rebel is considered to be a precursor of the muscle cars (rear-wheel drive mid-size cars with a powerful V8 engines and special trims) that became so popular in the 1960s.
