You don't see many AMC muscle cars at car shows, but here is one. Photographed at the J. C. Whitney Car Show, LaSalle, Illinois, May 4, 2014. I know the owner of this one.
The Michigan license plate is for a truck, not a car. In the sixties, Michigan changed the colors of plates every year, using the colors of the state universities. This is Maize and Blue, University of Michigan.
From my collection of auto sales brochures, from all parts of the world and nearly all makes of cars and light trucks.
The 1967 Marlin was increased in size to "full-size" and based on the senior Ambassador series on a 118" wheelbase chassis. Production dropped to 2,545.

The AMC Eagle is a compact four-wheel drive passenger vehicle manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) model years 1980 to 1987 and Chrysler Corporation, following its acquisition of AMC in 1987, for the 1988 model year.
Introduced in August 1979 for the 1980 model year, the coupe, sedan, and station wagon body styles were based on the AMC Concord.
For 1988, its final model year, only a station wagon was offered, which was marketed as the "Eagle Wagon". However, the name continued to be used by Chrysler Corporation as the Eagle brand of cars through 1998.
The AMC Eagles were the only four-wheel drive passenger cars produced in the U.S. at the time. All models featured "passenger-car comfort, plus 4WD security for all-weather security."Although the description was not in use at the time, the AMC Eagle is recognized as one of the first crossover vehicles.
The objective was for affordable cars offering a comfortable ride and handling on the pavement together with superior traction in light off-road use through AMC's innovative engineering and packaging.
The 1980 Eagle's appearance differed from the Concord's in that the bodies were raised 3 in (76 mm) further off their suspension to afford better ground clearance. To fill in the increased visual space between the tires and wheel wells, AMC used durable Kraton (polymer) plastic wheel arch flares that flowed into rocker panel extensions.
I don't care how old it is...a AMC Gremlin is NOT a classic car. :-)
Went to the Good Guys Auto Show with my son and Dad for the third year in a row.
Awesome show...over 6000 classic cars. Their Columbus Ohio Show each July is their largest one.
Hidden in the darkest recesses of the garage at Leuze, with its nose angled threateningly downwards, it looks like a big cat ready to pounce. A young American lion, surrounded by the carcasses of dozens of pre-war pussy-cats. Ghislain Mahy was not a fan of this kind of youthful potency. But son Ivan and grandson Michel both had a weak spot for this excess of horsepower on four oversized wheels. The Javelin has since become an American icon for lovers of young-timers. However, acquiring this status was by no means self-evident. In 1954, the American Motors Corporation combined Hudson and Nash in the largest merger that the automobile industry in Detroit had ever seen. AMC specialised in cheap models aimed at the average American consumer, but it could not compete with the Big Three: General Motors, Chrysler and Ford. It was thought that the trend towards ‘muscle cars’ at the end of the 1960s would do little to change this. A coupé with an exaggerated rear end and a powerful engine was not really AMC’s style. Or at least it wasn’t until veteran Richard ‘Dick’ Teague came up with a design for a first model of the Javelin. True, it was still a tame version, but it offered potential for the future. That future arrived in 1971, with the second generation of Javelins. With this car, AMC was looking ahead to the 1980s, with daring lines that risked scaring off its traditionally cautious customers. Under its concave bonnet there now roared a powerful eight-cylinder engine, good for 177 horsepower and resulting in two successive victories in the Trans-Am Series for muscle cars. From 1973 onwards, the modified version got even more power, as well as a black vinyl roof and a body in various shades of brown and green, complete with racing stripes. The matching interior, with its angled dashboard, looked like the cockpit of a jet fighter. The real daredevils opted for the limited edition with upholstery by fashion designer Pierre Cardin. In 1974 alone, AMC sold almost 30,000 of this poor man’s version of the Corvette. The company’s Buyer Protection pledge was a cool added bonus: if the Javelin broke down more than 100 miles from home and you had to stay the night in a motel, AMC would pick up the bill. Of course, this mint-green version from the last year of production is now many thousands of miles from home and AMC has long since ceased to exit. Sic transit gloria mundi.

The AMC Hornet is a compact automobile which was manufactured and marketed by the American Motors Corporation (AMC) in a single generation from model years 1970 through 1977. The Hornet replaced the compact Rambler American marking the end of the Rambler marque in the American and Canadian markets.
The new Hornet became an important vehicle and platform for AMC. It served the company in one form or another for eighteen years, until the 1988 model year. It would outlast all other compact platforms from the competition that included the Chevrolet Nova, Ford Maverick, and Plymouth Valiant. The Hornet was also the basis for AMC's Gremlin, Concord, Spirit, and the innovative all-wheel drive AMC Eagle.
