2-Seat Fun! 1961 AMC Metropolitan
The Metropolitan was a small 2-seat runabout that was designed by Nash Motors in the U.S. but built by Austin in England. From 1954 to 1962, it was sold at times as both Nash and Hudson products, but eventually… more»

Runs And Drive: 1954 Hudson Wasp
NASCAR fans will recall the furor that Hudson Motor Co. stirred up in the 1950s with the Hudson Hornet. The Hornet won more than 60% of NASCAR races in 1952-54. Perhaps lesser remembered was the Wasp, which rode on… more»

80% Restored: 1974 American Motors Javelin
The pony car market had largely run out of gas by 1974. That was the year that three of the players exited the market: the Plymouth Barracuda (from 1964), Dodge Challenger (from 1970), and the AMC Javelin (from 1968)…. more»

377 Chevrolet Power! 1982 AMC Concord Station Wagon
As one of the top-selling AMC offerings between 1978 and 1983, there’s not exactly a shortage of Concord automobiles to choose from nowadays, although there probably aren’t too many buyers actively seeking one out. However, I can certainly concur… more»

An Acquired Taste? 1978 AMC Pacer Wagon
AMC’s Pacer (’75-’80) is odd enough looking, but what about the station wagon version with its aquarium-sized rear side windows, such as this 1978 edition? Unusual would be an understatement. The listing says very little about this noteworthy car;… more»

Motor Trend Winner: 1963 Rambler Classic 660
American Motors redesigned its “mid-size” cars in 1963, the Classic and Ambassador. The cars were so well-received by Motor Trend that they bestowed “Car of the Year” honors on these Ramblers. The 660 was the mid-trim model of the… more»

Barbie-mobile? Modified 1959 AMC Metropolitan
As a former owner of a ’57 Metropolitan, I can attest to their cute, rather cartoonish persona. One owner I knew had a large motorized key atop his Met’s trunk lid that made it look like an oversized windup… more»

Restored 1978 AMC Concord D/L 4-Speed
I love seeing non-1970s muscle cars restored to like-new condition. ’70s muscle cars get all the love when it comes to throwing $100 bills at a restoration, but a car like this 1978 AMC Concord D/L with a factory… more»

Everything Works But The Engine! 1976 AMC Pacer X
The seller shows a couple of photos of a nice Pacer in their listing, somewhat of a tricky thing to drawing in people to click on the listing. I guess that’s pretty common in this era, but once you… more»

Lift Kit Added: 1988 AMC Eagle 4X4
Because of their size, American Motors often had trouble competing with Detroit’s “Big 3”. So, they were willing to think outside the box and offer products that others didn’t. Like the 1980s Eagle, which used Jeep-like technology applied to… more»

Desert Find: 1962 Rambler American Rag-top
In the late 1950s, U.S. automakers began to notice that buyers didn’t always want land yachts as their primary mode of transportation. Hence, the Volkswagen Beetle’s growing popularity took shape. American Motors dusted off the Nash Rambler from the… more»

Too Many Doors? 1966 Rambler Classic
The Classic was American Motors’ mid-size entry in the mid-1960s. Problem was that the 1963-64 redesign brought forth a car with proportions more like a compact. So, a restyle in 1965-66 resulted in a growth spurt, putting it on… more»

360 Powered: 1970 AMC Javelin SST
American Motors jumped into the “pony car” game in 1968 with the Javelin. Rather than fund a whole new car, they opted to pick from the existing parts bin (largely the American) to create the car. The seller’s nice-looking… more»

Running Wagon: 1964 Rambler Ambassador
The Ambassador was American Motors’ top-of-the-line car in the 1960s. In 1963-64, the redesign of the Ambassador and Classic (which rode on the same wheelbase) won Motor Trend’s Car of the Year honors (for ’63). Sales fell off in… more»

Pierre Cardin Edition: 1973 AMC Javelin
This second-generation AMC Javelin is apparently a Pierre Cardin edition, but it bears no price premium for the honor. It’s also not currently wearing its Cardin interior, though those bits come with the sale. The seller is asking $19,500,… more»
