While we are talking American Motors (AMC), they really produced great
automobiles. I didn't much care for the Gremlin or the Pacer, but AMC's
production in the '60's was very dependable and attractive automobiles. I
bought one of the first Javelins ever produced (traded my 1966 Austin Healey
3000 which I had purchased new for it), and it was, without question, the
best American automobile I have ever driven. It had all the perks,
beautiful, zippy car--343, positraction, 4 onthe floor, gold with black
stripe and vinyl top, 8-track, and lay down seats). I traded the Javelin a
couple of years later for the newly produced AMX which I really liked, but
not as much as the Javelin. My parents owned a couple of AMC Rebels which
were great family cars. We had very little mechanical trouble with any of
those automobiles. Great cars, AMC!
