The ceiling of AMC Empire 25 on W 42nd Street, NYC. Formerly known as the Empire Theater that was opened on Sept 11, 1912.
I'm no expert on AMC vehicles, but think this one must be circa 1970. At the Henry, Illinois Cruise Night, 2018.
Very interesting is the "Auto Becker" sticker. Auto Becker was a dealer in Düsseldorf who imported all the exclusive car brands to Germany like Facel Vega, Iso Rivolta, Volvo, Monteverdi, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Jaguar, AC Cobra, Aston Martin, Panther, Ferrari,... I didn´t know they where also selling AMC.

Every time I do an AMC, I check to see if it has an "American" color option, because they usually do. This one is my favorite livery so far. Check out the red, white, and blue stripes in the grill! That's awesome. So is the hood tach that's built into the hood scoop. It's pure silly excess and I love it.
I've been pushing myself a bit with my builds lately, and this one isn't as complex as a lot of recent stuff I've tackled, but I still had to come up with a new technique or two to pull it off. It's a great feeling when it all comes together.

Shot on a Canon PELLIX QL with a broken 50mm f1.4 in Prescott, Arizona. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble finding my higher quality scans of these images. Will have to rescan the negatives, I guess. The car is old, but the camera is actually older, which I like, as it means this image could've been taken when the car was fresh off the showroom floor.
I have a soft spot for the AMC Pacer. This one was gorgeous!

Night, Full Moon, CTO gelled flashlight
ISO100 12mm f/8 450 seconds
Welcome to the Utah Alphabet Yard Project! The goal of the project was to find a car that corresponds with every letter of the alphabet. I shot this back in April of 2012 and never really did anything with it. I shared A & B, but then life took over and it got placed on the back burner. It is now time to change that.
A little more info on this project; everything was shot in one night, to say it was a long night would be an understatement. I started the planning phase during the day, by combing the yard for all the cars I was going to shoot, then marked their location and description in Google Maps, so I could easily find each car in the sprawling 63-acre yard once the sun went down. As is all my night work, every picture is created with a single image composition. The images were shot on an old Canon 30D with a Tokina 12mm-24mm lens. Constant lighting provided by the moon and supplemental lighting created with a flashlight and colored gels. These are not Photoshop creations. I apply no editing that cannot be replicated in a darkroom. For the car to qualify for the associated letter, the make, model, or trim needed to start with said letter. Some creative freedom was also applied.
AMC Ambassador
The particular Ambassador ended up being your top-of-the-line car manufactured by your National Magnetic motors Institution (AMC) through 1958 right up until 1974. The car ended up being generally known as your AMC Ambassador, Ambassador V-8 through Rambler, and Rambler Ambassador...

20,000 views in a few weeks. I do not know what site they came from.
“The AMC complex, at 14250 Plymouth Road, dates to 1927 and once sprawled 1.4 million square feet. It has been empty since 2010, when it was sold by Chrysler after the automaker's bankruptcy. Anything of value inside the building was subsequently removed as scrap, and a large back section was razed.
What's left includes the main yellowish-brick building and its tall university-like tower, as well as a long, attached three-story structure. The complex is open to the elements, awash in graffiti and missing many windows and some walls.
There has been considerable illegal dumping at the site. Chrysler kept about 900 employees in the building as late as 2009 before shifting work to its Auburn Hills headquarters.
The entire property was offered in the treasurer's tax foreclosure auction last fall (2015) for the price of $500 — plus $232,000 in unpaid taxes. The sole bidder was a Commerce Township man who backed out of the deal for undisclosed reasons.
The Treasurer's Office then offered the property to the city of Detroit, which didn't want it.
Tyler said the property's ownership will likely go to the Wayne County Land Bank before year's end (2016). County officials have brainstormed possible redevelopment and reuse options, which all would entail taking down "the majority of the existing structure," he said.

I like these. Not a fan of the wheels on this one though.
I'm pretty sure a local used car dealership close to where I lived in the mid 90s had one of these as a sort of promotional tool. I think they had some other Americana as well. They're long gone now though.
This one, being RHD, is one of the few official imports before they stopped selling them here due to bad press I think, from the motoring journalists of the time. I believe they were converted to RHD by the importers, as they were only available as LHD from the factory.
