Hey Rich,

You still own the first luxury SUV – that awesome Super Wagoneer?
There is a great story there too.

This is a beautiful car.
.
The reclining seats and the console mounted shifter are my favorite parts…
.
I’d love to own it.

GT Wildfire…the mill hasn’t been upgraded, all 1963 Ambassadors were equipped with a 327 ci. V8 (and it’s an AMC, not a Chevy V8 as the AMC 327 has different bore and stroke and looks nothing like a SBC) and a 327-powered Ambassador will scoot from 0-60 in just about 8 seconds, which when put in the perspective of the time was pretty damn quick. The more I look at this car, the more I want it (what does it say about me?) but wish that it was the available 2-door sedan or station wagon model. Also, sorry that the link to the 1957 Rambler Rebel story wasn’t active when this went up but has since been fixed; I hope you will take a look.

WOW. I remember way way back around 1969 or 70, probably ‘69. My Mom use to own one of these… in the same color.

We were up in the Pocono Mountains, going to pick up my sisters from Girl Scout camp. I remember it was having trouble climbing hills and ended up breaking down. We ended up staying at a motel across the road from a lake overnight until my Dad could come the next day. We ended up going for a swim. I was about 4 or 5 years old at the time.

That car brought back a far-off memory. I’ve seen very few of these.
-
Oh and good thing the mill’s been upgraded!

My first car when I came to this country was a 1967 AMC Ambassador that I got from my dad. I just loved the car. Unfortunately don’t have any pics of it….wish I did.

Traditionally, folks credit the 1964 Pontiac Tempest GTO as the first muscle car, but it only debuted 2 weeks ahead of the Mustang and was originally scheduled to be released a little later than the Stang. Aside from that, the Stang had a longer life as a concept car going back to 1962 at Watkins Glen. With all formalities aside, I’d have to say the ‘57 Rambler Rebel is quite a competitor for the title.
