Description: American Motors Corporation (AMC; commonly referred to as American Motors) was an American automobile manufacturing company formed by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company on May 1, 1954. At the time, it was the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. Regarded as a small company deft enough to exploit special market segments left untended by the giants, American Motors was widely known for the design work of chief stylist Dick Teague, who had to make do with a much tighter budget than his counterparts at Detroit's Big Three but had a knack for making the most of his employer's investment.
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.
Description: The AMC Gremlin was introduced on April 1, 1970 as a 1970-1/2 model. It was the result of a fast track program to bring the first modern, U.S.-built subcompact car to market. AMC was successful in beating both GM and Ford to the punch. Love them or hate them, the Gremlin was a successful vehicle and a true 70s icon.
