Honest car reviews both big and small
One of the last of the independents that just ran out of cash ... Being a big fan of the cars from American Motors, I can appreciate what Studebaker brought to market and how they tried to challenge the Big Three. Like AMC, at times they were brilliant, but other times, not so much. In... Continue Reading →
Another swing for the fence car from America’s smallest automaker. When you’re up against big car companies with big budgets and big lineups you have to do things differently as was the case for American Motors in the 70s. They were all about different in that time period first with the Gremlin in 1970 and... Continue Reading →
It took on the Big 3 and won I’ll admit that I love American Motors cars. It seemed the company was always swinging for the fence with every new car. And they had to because they never had a big development budget. Take for example the Javelin. Tardy to the pony car party in 1968.... Continue Reading →
This one I know well The AMX was produced by American Motors from 1968 to 1970 as a two-seat sports car. Its short wheelbase, one inch shorter than the Corvette, and big engines, 290 to 390, V8's made it a hit for AMC who was a late arrival at the muscle car party. To show... Continue Reading →
The Shelby guys have thought of everything with the racy 2020 Mustang GT 500 ... By Paul Daniel and Mark Savage PAUL: I sort of backed into loving Mopar stuff after Chrysler bought American Motors Corp. in the late 1980s. I've always been the kind of person who has a soft spot for the underdog.... Continue Reading →
Model Car Group launches a 1/18 scale Jeep CJ-7 ... Few vehicles are as recognizable as a Jeep, and yet Jeeps have been restyled multiple times since World War II and are now the younger generation’s urban vehicle of choice. But back in the 1970s (remember those?), the CJ-7 was the cool retro-styled Jeep that... Continue Reading →
My dad made me the car freak I am today This coming Father's Day will be my first without my dad as he passed away February 14th. At his funeral, I did the eulogy, and after rewriting it a couple of times, decided to go with a car theme comparing his qualities to the window... Continue Reading →
My one shot at a collector car Came in 1987 while living in Green Bay. I always kept an eye out in the papers, this was before that interweb thing got big, looking for, well, I wasn't sure. Then, bingo, a 1970 AMX was for sale in Milwaukee similar to the image of this model... Continue Reading →
Jeepless in Pewaukee For those of you who have not read my posts before, I love Jeeps! My love affair began in 1970 when American Motors purchased The Jeep Corporation from Kaiser Industries. My dad worked for AMC at the time at its National Parts Distribution Center in Milwaukee, WI. so now I would receive... Continue Reading →
1/24-scale 1969 Dodge Charger a nice value ... Originally I was not a big Dodge Charger or American Motors Marlin fan. Both were too radical in their fastback designs for me. I preferred the Plymouth Baracuda and Ford’s Mustang 2+2. But by 1968 the second generation Charger looked racier to me and in 1969 Dodge... Continue Reading →
