The sports car design features a [[rumble seat]] for two additional passengers that was described as a "Ramble Seat" in homage to the automaker's predecessor [[Rambler (automobile)|Rambler]] models. This back seat folds into the trunk space, and the rear window flips down, but these are not fully weatherproof designs.<ref name="ThoseCarShows"/> The roof design also has no "A" pillars, providing greater visibility.<ref name="ThoseCarShows"/> The fiberglass-bodied "pushmobile" concept has no interior, engine, drivetrain, or suspension.<ref name="ThoseCarShows"/> The concept was widely covered by the automotive media and the car featured on several auto magazine covers.<ref name="ThoseCarShows"/> It was painted orange or metallic blue to be shown on the [[auto show]] circuit. It received positive reviews that convinced management to put the car into production.<ref name="ThoseCarShows"/>

This 1966 AMX also gave rise to several other AMX show cars.<ref>{{cite web|last=Strohl |first=Daniel |title=From A to X – all the different cars that could have, and did, become the AMX |url= https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2015/06/23/from-a-to-x-all-the-different-cars-that-could-have-and-did-become-the-amx/ |publisher=Hemmings |date=23 June 2015 |access-date=22 January 2018}}</ref>
