5.0 out of 5 stars Time Capsule..., June 26, 2008

By	GRH "Ex WHA Jet" (British Columbia) - See all my reviews

This book is a compilation of auto enthusiast magazine articles from the past, and thus it offers an insight into what was expected from a car. AMC was always the small fish in a big pond, surviving only by filling market niches that the BIG THREE ie GM, Ford, and Chrysler ignored. Had it not been for the foreign import invasion from Europe and especially Japan, AMC would likely still be around today. But the small Kenosha, Wisconsin company barely managed to compete against it's Detroit cousins, and the import onslaught was the final nail in the coffin. Still, one has to wonder what a 2008 Ambassador, Matador, Hornet, Javelin, Rebel, and especially Pacer might have looked like !!
