FactNobody had built one before: in 1956 Rambler introduced the industry's first-ever four-door hardtop station wagon.
The Rambler Six and the Rambler V8 are intermediate-sized automobiles built and marketed by American Motors for model years 1956 through 1960 (designer Edmund E. Anderson; also sold as the Nash Rambler and Hudson Rambler in 1956, and built in Belgium and Mexico), launched on 15 December 1955 as "a new era in motoring" according to AMC president George W. Romney. The Rambler line was sold through both the Nash and Hudson dealer networks in 1956 (the Nash Rambler and Hudson Rambler) and created and defined a new market segment, the "compact car", as the classification was called at the time; a V8-powered Rambler V8 was added for the 1957 model year. Body styles were a 4-door sedan, 4-door wagon and 4-door hardtop sedan and wagon on a 108 in wheelbase, with the 195.6 cu in (3.2 L) Typhoon inline six and the 250 cu in (4.1 L) AMC V8; the Rambler Classic replaced them for 1961.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
