AMC Eagle

This is one of the last AMCs ever made. I like it because it's an AMC, has AWD, faux wood panels and is a station wagon. But then as far as style goes it's an 80's station wagon with faux wood panels (only a good combination on classics two decades older than this car), a goofy ride height (the AWD always makes it look like it's got too much weight in the back) and it's one of the reasons AMC died. It also made AOL's Autos' list of Top 10 Ugly Cars at #8, so apparently I'm not the only one who doesn't consider this car a work of art.

AMC Hornet "AMX" Custom

This car needs almost no explanation. Almost.




Yeah, it's a homemade tri-color AMX. Made from a AMC Hornet. I put it on the Classic Customs page (and more angles of this car can be found there) of The Crittenden Automotive Library because I really didn't think it was still Hornet enough to put it on an AMC Hornet page.

It really is a remarkable piece, and a lot of thought and effort went into it, and when you get up close to it the workmanship is definitely better than would be expected when you first see the car. However, they did take an ugly 70's car and make it even uglier, and that's why it's here.

In case you're curious, this is what a regular 1977 AMC Hornet AMX looks like.
