[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3691349, member: 47875"] They built some of the lowliest automobiles ever. The late 1960's/early-mid 1970's Ambassador gets honorable mention for actually looking half-way decent. My grandfather sold Hudson in the 1950's and praised it's stable, low-center-of-gravity step-down ride. It is no looker to me though. Gramps sold Lincoln-Mercury also back in that decade. I have been watching this interesting history of AMC: [MEDIA=youtube]TCmHII0Pp9w[/MEDIA] I've never owned an AMC car nor even have ridden in one. I've hardly missed much. [I]AMC and some of its predecesors from Nash and Hudson was just some butt-ugly automobiles except for the late 1960's/1970's Ambassadors. The Pacer, the Matador and the Gremlin are the homliest cars of the 1970's. Early 1960's Ramblers and Mopar cars were homely as well as Studebakers and Edsels of the 1950's. AMC ultimately died due to crappy looks and crappy build quality. Lee Iocacca merged American Motors Corporation into Chrysler Corporation in the 1980's.
