Return of the AMC!

[OcalaHemi]

Just got my April edition of Hot Rod. Page 48 It has been revealed in Keosha, Wisconsin that AMC will return as a full-line, full service car company to do battle with the domestics and the imports in North America. They claim they can compete with the Mustang , Challenger, and the new Camaro, with the new Javelin and the return of the AMX. It will be a privately held company. Let it be true!!!!!!!!!!

AMC used to have some really awesome cars, but its a thing of the past. Lets enjoy it that way.

Why? We have three domestic car companies that can't compete as it is!

In the day AMC made some true muscle cars. If the Javelin or AMX were to return, I will have to have one!

Read the last little box in the article.

It was an April Fool's joke. AMC is not being resurrected.

I was soooo pissed after I read the whole thing, and came to that.

So the Challenger shouldn't be brought back either?

Here's an interesting note of trivia.....

The Brampton assembly plant (current home to our beloved LX's, was originally built by AMC back in the mid 80's to manufacture the Eagle Premier, Dodge Monaco and the last run of the original AMC Eagle (The production of the Eagle was transferred from the AMC plant in Kenosha, back during the last several years of the product run.) The last Eagle ran off the line back in 1988. The plant was originally called "Bramalea Assembly"

Good info. Chrysler bought AMC in the mid '80's. Jeep's current straight 6 engine is a modern version of AMC's old 232 and 258ci 6 banger.

AMC was formed by a merger of the Nash/Kelvinator company, and the Hudson car company back in the early fifties.

Nash invented the modern hot water and electric blower heater still used in cars today, and they were the first car company to place all of the air conditioning components under the hood, as opposed to being under the car and in the trunk.

SuperMan drove a Nash.

I was so excited to read that article too !! The prospect of a company making cool cars just cause they can, what an idea. Then I read that little box and was also pissed.
