Yup I wrote him:
"Hi Pete, on the AMC Rebel trivia question, actually the Rebel moniker was around in 1950s, the 1957 Rambler Rebel by AMC was fastest production car in 1957 unless you count the 'fuelie' Corvette. Not fuelie, Rebel kick the hinie off it. Here is a original press photo I sell:

  Ed,
  And of course the given answer is wrong!! American Motors produced the first Rebel in 1957, which by the way was the fastest production car (non fuel injected) for 0 to 60 that year beating Corvette and Chrysler 300. 
  They did this with there new 327 engine in a Rambler body with special trim.
