My two AMC builds together, both wearing American color schemes: a 1969 Super Stock AMX, and a 1969 Hurst/SC Rambler.
Taken at the annual Spring Grove car show held in Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Being one of the last significant shows of the year this one attracts lots of cool cars which necessitates packing them in close together. Shinny cars close together with lots of sun and strong shade coming from the trees, makes for difficult shooting. If I had other shots of this car or other Javelins, I'd probably not post this one, but the clean lines and beautiful paint job means I have to. When I looked up other images of Javelins, I saw several with the same paint scheme details which I thought were custom. Between the Javelin and Marlin, AMC had some great designs which I don't remember being all that popular at the time. Looking back, I think they were better looking that the Camaro or Mustang. What a shame.
From Wikipedia:
"The AMC Javelin is an American front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-door hardtop automobile manufactured and marketed by American Motors Corporation (AMC) across two generations, 1968–1970 and 1971–1974 model years.
Styled by Dick Teague, the Javelin was available in a range of trim and engine levels, from economical pony car to muscle car variants. In addition to manufacture in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Javelins were assembled under license in Germany, Mexico, Philippines, Venezuela, as well as Australia – and were marketed globally.
As the winner of Trans-Am race series in 1971, 1972, and 1976, the second-generation AMX variant was the first pony car to be used as a standard vehicle for highway police car duties by an American law enforcement agency."
The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT in style and approach sports car that was produced by American Motors Corporation for the 1968 through 1970 model years

With Magnum 500 style wheels.
The first generation, 1968-70 was based on their Javelin ponycar, shortened into a 2-seater car but with a V8 engine standard. This one had a 360 cubic inch engine. A 390 cubic inch engine was also available.
The 1970 model was the last of the first generation. The following model year and generation, the AMX and the Javelin shared the same body.
Update: The color has been identified as ‘Commodore Blue.’
