The Ambassador's platform was four inches longer than the new Rambler Rebel's 114 inch wheelbase in 1967. The Rambler name and its economy car image would be eschewed to give the car a clean slate in a market that was turning away from economy cars. However, sales of the redesigned models were disappointing due to customer confusion caused by the entire company's abrupt upmarket push, which seemed to abandon the economy buyers. The fastback Marlin two door hardtop that was previously built on the Classic platform moved to the Ambassador chassis.
