It's a shame that the Rebel didn't look like a sporty car.
With its 255 hp. 327 in a light weight body, at 7 seconds 0-60 the 1957 Rambler Rebel was the quickest sedan you could buy that year. The only car that could beat it was the fuel injected 283 Corvette. The bigger engined Chrysler 300, Lincolns, and Cadillacs could only watch the Rambler get smaller in their front windshield.
The Rambler also had a 288 hp. BendexElectrojector fuel injection option which did beat the Corvette but very few were built due to supplier problems. It was still printed in the sales brochures though.
It would take Chevrolet until 1962 to get their own 327.
