Some years ago Brooklin did a very nice Rambler Rebel.  Here it is compared to the actual car.

I like that Brooklin model. Growing up in Western New York I saw many Ramblers. They were somewhat popular. My Uncle Chet had a '59 or '60 Wagon which I loved riding in because it was so different from Dad's '59 Impala.

I always liked this Brooklin and was pleasantly surprised that they chose it.

Great look at both these automobiles ..... real and 1/43  Brooklin model ! I had understood that one of the initial Bendix fuel-injected Rambler Rebels was the among the fastest regular stock cars in America and then the more common 4-bbl version was certainly no slouch either.
