Rambler is the compact car brand that Nash Motors revived in 1950 on a small convertible, and that American Motors made a marque of its own after dropping Nash and Hudson in 1958. It covered the American, the Classic, the Rebel, the Ambassador and the Marlin, and its economy image carried the company through the 1950s. The name was dropped in the United States after 1969, though export markets such as Mexico kept it until 1983. The Rambler name of the Jeffery company before 1914 is a different story and is not covered here.
