FYI:  While researching info on the Nash-Healy sportscar, I came across this Wikipedia quote:
"The fuel-injected 327 Rambler Rebel is credited for being the the first factory-produced muscle car,...as quicker than all other american sedans in 1957".
So much for internet accuracy.  I would like to see the Rebel try to catch a '57 Ford business coupe with OD and a 312 'F' engine!!
