The Pride of Kenosha Wisc.

Don't forget the Rambler Scrambler, and the Nash Metropolitan in the list of curiosities.

The Javilin tho (means pig if said in spanish) was considered quite stylish...and the Gremlin while odd, was superior in every way to the Pintos and Vegas.

AMC was a conglomerate that included other cool car companies that ran into financial problems too.

This included, I believe Hudson, Packard and Studebaker and Nash, and later Jeep. (All part of Chrysler Diamler now)

Studebaker was originally partners with Conestoga Wagon company...the drivers of whom smoked cigars constant to keep bugs away...hence the term "Stogie" for a cigar.

I liked those odd cars.

Oh cripes, except the Matador, and Ambassador.
