When introduced in 1957, the Rambler Rebel debuted as a high-performance vehicle that mated AMC's light weight Rambler four-door hardtop body style to AMC's 327 cubic inch V-8, making it the first-time that a large block V-8 was mated to an intermediate size car in the postwar marketplace. The car was tested by Motor Trend which found that an experimental Rebel, equipped with fuel injection, was faster off of a standing start than the 1957 Chevrolet Corvette. The car was available only in silver metallic, and accented with gold anodized aluminum inserts along the sides. For 1957, 1,500 Rambler Rebels were produced, many of which were returned to AMC dealers for repainting after several years of weather exposure to the Silver Metallic paint caused premature breakdown to the automotive lacquer coating.

While Hudson dealers also sold versions of the Rambler, badged as Hudson brand cars, the Rebel model was an exclusive to Nash dealers in 1956.
For 1958, the Rebel name returned, but was applied to Rambler's up market intermediate line of cars which included a four-door sedan and station wagon models, all of which were available in a wide variety of colors. The Rebel now differentiated from lower line Rambler Six by its side trim. The Rebel would maintain this body and model arrangement through the 1959 model year. For 1960, the car's engine was detuned as emphasis was placed not on performance, but on economy.
The Rebel name was replaced for model year 1961 by the Rambler Classic which enjoyed a model run through the 1966 model year. For 1967, AMC retired the Rambler Classic model name and resurrected the Rebel name for 1967 which it applied to its mid-sized Rambler models. The car was transferred to the AMC marque in 1968, and then retired in 1969 and replaced by the less revolutionary AMC Matador line of cars. The Rambler Classic was an intermediate sized automobile that was built and sold by American Motors Corporation from 1961 to 1966. ...
