Just became learned about 57 Rambler Rebels, but too young to know how they stacked up against Studebaker`s best of the era. In the real world, at the time, was the Rebel quicker to 60 mph than a Golden Hawk? How about in the 1/4 mile? What car of the two had the longest legs on the highway?
Was there a Studebaker sedan at the time that could theoretically come close to keeping up with one of these rockets? Was the Rebel really just a short distance sprinter, or a true highway super cruiser? Anyone here have recollections back in the day of the Rambler vs Studebaker? I'm amazed how two 'underdog' car manufacturers were able to produce autos that were capable of making any of the big 3 products look silly at any given time... cheers, Junior
