The car was supplied as standard with a Flash-O-Matic automatic gearbox but could be supplied with a three-speed manual box on request. Enhusiasts were catered for with the Rambler Rebel which was powered by the Ambassador engine. In line with the practice of the Nash company, the bodies were designed by Pinanfarina.
