context_page_description: The AMC Rebel is a midsized car produced by American Motors Corporation from 1967 to 1970. It replaced the Rambler Classic. The Rebel was replaced by the similar AMC Matador for the 1971 model year. The Rebel was positioned as the high-volume seller in the independent automaker's line of models.
  The Rebel was available in several specialty models that included limited numbers of station wagons with special-themed trim and luxury equipment that were offered only in certain geographical areas. A high-performance, low-priced muscle car version was produced in 1970, the Machine, that is most recognized in its flamboyant white, red, and blue trim.
  The Rebel is the shorter-wheelbase, intermediate-sized version of the longer-wheelbase, full-sized Ambassador line.
  The Rebel was built at AMC's West Assembly Line in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
context_section_description: Under a partnership agreement developed in 1961 with Renault, American Motors vehicles were assembled in Haren, Belgium from Complete Knock-down kits. As with the previous locally assembled Rambler Classic the new 1967 Rebel continued to be marketed as the Rambler Renault available as both sedan and hardtop models. The new for 1967 designs were sold by Renault dealers in Algeria, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
  The Rambler models served as the executive car in Renault's product line, but the entirely new design was larger car with more power than the previous Rambler Classic and no longer suitable for European automobile tax regimes or road conditions. The 1967 models were priced 20 to 25% more than the previous year's; therefore, production ended in the summer of 1967.
  After Renault ceased Rebel production, business between AMC and Renault continued in Argentina via Industrias Kaiser Argentina (IKA) which Renault took control of in 1967. Under its partnership arrangement with AMC, IKA had been assembling Ramblers since 1962, including the Rambler Ambassador until 1972. Renault bought out IKA in 1970 and the Santa Isabel factory of Córdoba was renamed Renault Argentina in 1975.
