How does becoming "a separate brand" allow a company "to better compete"? To me, it's a distinction without a difference. The music is unfortunate.

Pinnacle? Try the early Packards or Duesenberg. Cadillac and Lincoln were Sheet cars in the 70's designed for greedy FAT americans.

AMC had some good 👍 vehicles, during their 30+ years - like so many car 🚗 manufacturers before them, they ultimately lost, to the 'Big Three'... My first car was a '73 gremlin - a good car ❤

I turned 16 in 1984 and with $75 of birthday money, I bought a used AMC Pacer in the two tone red & white. I drove the wheels off that car. It got me to and from my first real job and to and from school, where my car was laughed at because of its shape. But man, when you got inside that car was there a lot of room! It was like being in a full sized car. I sold the "egg" and got a faster, sportier Duster, but I will always remember my old Pacer with fond memories!

I still miss my '78 Mark V many years after it was sold. Even after all of these years it is still a beautiful car. I'd surely take one over any of the current look a like SUVs.

Yes! A Mark V would be way cooler than any luxury SUV.

I always thought this car was beautiful below the beltline. It was smooth, sleek, and futuristic. But the damn, high, weird, bulbous roof looked totally out of place and unmatched with the lower part of the car. The roof looked like something from the early 1940’s and the lower body like modern mid-1950’s.

Hmmmm, yeah it is kind of an odd matchup in some ways. The "widow's peak" windshield is definitely an acquired taste.

Poor Steven Parent lost his life behind the wheel of his father's 1966 Ambassador at Sharon Tate's home. He was visiting the groundkeeper and was exiting the house when the Manson Family attacked the property. Manson's number two, Charles Tex Watson shot him down at point blank range. Steven was 18.

I had an '84 Eagle station wagon. 258 ci six; ran good and got a consistent 25 mpg on the highway when I took it cross-country. I also used it to deliver mail for 3 years; I was a rural route mail carrier in Missouri at the time. It was a great vehicle.

I figured this comment section could use a fresh up to date comment. 12-02-24 Just purchased a two owner 03 signature model with 150k miles, pearl white and its a cream puff. The interior and engine bay are perfect, the undercarriage is still new looking with no road grim or dirt.. amazing. No one has ever smoked in it either and the ashtrays are shiny new, even the cigarette lighter has never been used. I'm really enjoying this car and its a pleasure to drive it. The purchase price was equivalent to one mortgage payment! Unbelievable to get so much car for so little money especially in today's world.
