American Motors introduced a completely restyled longer, lower, and wider Ambassador for the 1967 model year, now riding on a wheelbase, or longer than before. The Ambassador's platform was longer than the new Rambler Rebel's wheelbase. The Ambassador was positioned in the standard-size category, against traditional big cars such as Ford Galaxie, Chevrolet Impala, and Plymouth Fury. The convertible was offered again—this time in DPL trim—for 1967; but this would be the final year with 1,260 built. It featured an all new "split stack" folding mechanism with concealed side rails that did not intrude into the backseat area, thus offering room for three adult passengers in the rear.
