Scotchlite reflectors were also added to the rear of the tailfins to increase visibility at night. Adjustable headrests for the front seats were a new option, an industry first. Other changes included the activation of the starter through the neutral pushbutton on automatic transmission equipped cars. The new model was positioned in the mid priced class alongside Pontiac and Mercury. However, buyers in the mid priced bracket were not drawn in large numbers to the bigger Rambler. The 1959 Ambassador was the second of two Ambassador V8 years.
