The Javilin tho (means pig if said in spanish)

I always liked the story about how the Spanish community would have nothing to do with the "Nova" which means "No Go" in spanish.

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)

Don't forget Harley Davidson was also owned by AMC for a while to the chagrin of millions of bikers. I remember how stoked my uncle, who is a long time Harely rider, was when Harley-Davidson was bought back. Isn't the original plant in Wisconsin?

I always thought the Gremlin had the coolest gas cap ever made. THe little Gremlin was an inspiration for many a childhood doodle.
