Wow! A Rambler V-8!

Here's a two-page magazine ad for the 1957 Rambler.  For that model year, American Motors separated Rambler from both Nash and Hudson and made it a separate make (they did the same with the British-build Metropolitan subcompact).  Also, AMC gave Rambler its' own overhead valve V-8 engine (190 horsepower) to go with its' inline six-cylinder engine.

That same year, AMC added the short-lived Rambler Rebel (all 1500 of those cars were four-door hardtops), which feature a 327 cubic-inch, 255 horsepower OHV V-8 engine, the same one used for that year's Nash Ambassadors and Hudson Hornets.
