The American Motors (AMC) was the little company that made a big impact. Makers of the Rambler family car, AMC offered a refreshing alternative to Detroit's "Big Three. " When America shifted toward sporty cars, AMC answered with the Javelin, AMX, Scrambler, and Rebel Machine—performance models that won respect both in showrooms and on the track. Always different in approach, AMC championed consumer protection, produced special-edition models, and thought boldly with cars like the Gremlin and Pacer. Off-road, AMC transformed Jeep into "The One & Only, " laying the foundation for its enduring global success. With the Eagle, AMC even pioneered America's first crossover, proving once again that the smallest U. S. automaker was also its biggest surprise. Packed with colourful illustrations, this book is a celebration of AMC's economy cars, high-performance machines, luxury models, and its role in shaping Jeep's legacy. A must-have for fans of American automotive history.
