The American Motor Corporation made a few unique cars in the '70s but the company ultimately did not survive.... probably due to gas prices, new regulations and bad luck with suppliers. One of their most iconic cars was the compact but wide bodied AMC Pacer (1975). It sold well initially, but the design and production was rushed giving rise to... quality problems.

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.

Renault AMC 34 YR
The AMC 34 was a french cruiser tank from the early 1930's. It was developped to become the combat tank of the new french light mechanized divisions. After several years of service it was replaced by the AMC 35 wich was then replaced by the Somua S35 (because of the AMC 35 mechanical issues).
The tank was given 2 type of turrets: the APX1 (which is the same turret as D2 tanks and early B1 tanks) or the APX2 with a 25mm gun.
This model is quipped with the APX1 turret, it can fit a figure popping out of the back hatch.

Renault AMC 34 YR
L'AMC 34 était un char de cavalerie français du début des années 1930. Il fut développé pour devenir le char de combat principal des divisions légères mechaniques. Après plusieurs années de service il fut remplacé par l'AMC 35, lui meme remplacé par le Somua S35 du fait des problèmes techniques récurrents de l'AMC 35.
Les AMC 34 reçurent deux types de tourelles: l'APX1 (la meme que celle des chars D2 et des char B1 du premier type) ou l'APX2 avec un canon de 25mm. Ce modèle est équipé de la tourelle APX1, on peut en disposer une minifigure sortant de la trappe arrière.

My 1973 American Motors Javelin. Bought in 1977 for $2400. It had the 401 V-8, Holley carb, three speed auto, bucket seats, PS, PB. It was fun. Of course, being a dopey kid, I ruined it.
I believe it's on a foreign plates?. Must have been a rare sight in the UK, even in the mid 70s!
I was recently very kindly given a disc of old car show photos from the mid to late 70's which were found on glass slides in a skip and then scanned to disc, i thought i'd uploaded them to here, there are over 1100 images so it could take me a while!
