Description: The Gremlin was introduced in 1970 by American Motors as a subcompact two-door model that was marketed as "the first American-built import." Utilizing a shortened Hornet platform, with a stylized hatchback body, the Gremlin's unique styling stuck out among the era's subcompact completion. Added to 1971 models, those who opted for the Gremlin X package were rewarded with a bigger engine, wider tires, and revised slot-style wheels. The interior of the Gremlin X also featured bucket seats from the Javelin, an AM/FM radio, fabric sunroof, tilt steering wheel, inside hood release, and front disk brakes. 1972 models added an available 304 cu in V8 engine, following the muscle car formula of stuffing a big motor in a small car.

AMC went on to compete with the US Big Three—Ford, General Motors and Chrysler—with its small cars including the Rambler American, Hornet, Gremlin and Pacer; muscle cars including the Marlin, AMX and Javelin; and early four-wheel-drive variants of the Eagle, the U.S. market's first true crossover.
Description: The 1968 Trans-Am season saw a new competitor in sedan road racing, one that in its rookie year displayed the perfect combination of brute strength, amazing speed and all out stamina. Two race-prepped Javelins were equipped to race in the over-2-liter and under-5-liter engine class which permitted a maximum of 305 cu. in. engine displacement. The Javelins had factory 290 ci V-8 engines that were bored to 304.3 cubic inches to obtain maximum performance within the displacement limit. As a result, the first official American Motors racing team proved that their Javelins could compete with the best of the best in the Trans-Am racing circuit.
Description: American Motors Corporation was a car manufacturer formed in 1954 through the merger of Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson Motors, making it one of the last major independent automakers in America. Known for doing things differently, AMC had a reputation for unconventional vehicles, and during the '60s and ’70s, it produced memorable models like the Rambler, Javelin, AMX, Gremlin, Pacer, and Eagle—the latter widely considered one of the first crossover-style passenger vehicles with four-wheel drive. Financial struggles eventually led to the company being bought out in 1987, leaving behind a legacy. This design is based on AMC's 1969 rebrand that celebrated the company's genuinely innovative nature, which allowed AMC to do more with less.
