I guess this is accurate as the post has a link to a Hemmings article.

Rambler Rebel was shown to be America's fastest sedan for 1957. Admittedly, it was close: The Rebel's best 0-60-mph run was timed at 7.5 seconds, while the Chrysler 300C ran 7.6 seconds. But consider such legendary muscle cars as the Studebaker Golden Hawk's 8.7 seconds, or the blown T-Bird's 8.0 seconds, and you can appreciate what the AMC engineers were able to accomplish on a shoestring. Other results included the Plymouth Fury at 8.0 seconds, the Dodge D-500 at 8.8 seconds, and the Pontiac Tri-Power at 7.9 seconds. The only car that could beat the Rebel in acceleration was a fuel-injected Corvette, which did the run in 7.0 seconds to become the fastest American car, while the Rebel was the fastest American sedan.
I guess they weren't laying down on the job for the speed test.
Dad had one of these body style Ramblers as a company car when he worked for American Motors, I'm sure it wasn't the Rebel version and I seriously doubt it had the V-8. I really shouldn't be too embarrassed to have taken my car drivers test in this version Rambler (mom's car)
The added bonus to doing it in that car was that it was a 3 speed on the tree so I automatically got the manual transmission endorsement!

I remember seeing these AD's (and the stories), all I got was a couple of turtles and the little plastic tub (with palm tree).
