Conceivably any synth could be used to make ambient music (just put a great big reverb after it), but some have features which are more suited to the task.
Yes that is true but what features would that be exactly? I've seen someone mention H-G Fortune's synths which are excellent for pad-ish sounds but what else though?
Things like several lfo's which can be extensively routed, flexible envelopes, several filters, built-in reverb and delay with modulation, a variety of somewhat unusual waveforms. These things could make a synth particularly well-suited for ambient music. Other (non-free) synths with many of these features would be Absynth, Zebra, and Tranzistow.
aha then WhispAir comes to mind aswell as Inspire CC

Maybe the old Korg legacy stuff, Wavestation and M1, they come with lots of presets.

This is an old one I highly recommend for New Age vocal pads:

This is a classic!
A well-behaved signature.
