Soon after Nash and Hudson merged to become the American Motors Corporation in 1954, the model name of the Nash Rambler compact got repurposed for use as the name of AMC's new Rambler marque. The 1956-1960 Rambler Six and V8 models did their best to compete with the behemoths of the Detroit Big Three via smaller size and greater efficiency, and sales numbers were respectable. Here's a pink, tailfinned Rambler station wagon from 1959, photographed years ago in a now-defunct Northern California self-service yard.
