Frequently Asked Questions about Classic AMC

The Javelin was made by American Motors Corporation (AMC), the Detroit-headquartered automaker whose main car plant was in Kenosha, Wisconsin. It arrived for the 1968 model year, styled under AMC design chief Dick Teague, and was built in two generations, 1968-1970 and 1971-1974. AMC raced it in the SCCA Trans-Am series, where Roger Penske's team and driver Mark Donohue won the 1971 title.

AMC stands for American Motors Corporation. The company was formed in 1954 by the merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and the Hudson Motor Car Company. Sources give either January 14 or May 1, 1954, as the merger date. Nash-Kelvinator president George W. Mason led the new company until his death in October 1954, when George W. Romney succeeded him. The Nash and Hudson nameplates were dropped after the 1957 model year.

Yes. Nash introduced the compact Rambler in 1950, reviving a name that the Thomas B. Jeffery Company, a Nash predecessor in Kenosha, Wisconsin, had put on cars from 1902. Nash became part of American Motors in 1954, and Rambler became a make in its own right for the 1957 model year. AMC began dropping the name with the 1966 Ambassador and Marlin, and the last U.S.-built Rambler left the Kenosha line on June 30, 1969.

AMC's main car plant was in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the site where the Jeffery company had started building Ramblers in 1902 and where Nash later built its cars. AMC also assembled cars in Brampton, Ontario, and after 1970 its Jeep vehicles were built in Toledo, Ohio. The company's headquarters stayed on Plymouth Road in Detroit until 1975, then moved to the American Center in Southfield, Michigan.

AMC bought Jeep in 1970, when it purchased the Kaiser Jeep Corporation. The business was renamed Jeep Corporation and run as a wholly owned AMC subsidiary, with production continuing in Toledo, Ohio. Jeep stayed with AMC until 1987, and contemporary and later accounts name the Jeep brand as the main attraction for Chrysler when it bought AMC that year.

AMC stopped existing as a separate automaker in 1987, when Chrysler bought it. In March 1987 the French automaker Renault, by then AMC's controlling shareholder, agreed to sell its stake to Chrysler, which also offered to buy the remaining shares. The purchase was completed in August 1987, and Chrysler reorganized the former AMC as its Jeep-Eagle division. Chrysler ended car assembly at the Kenosha, Wisconsin, plant in 1988.

The AMX was a two-seat car that AMC introduced in February 1968 and built through the 1970 model year. It was based on the four-seat Javelin but rode a shorter 97-inch wheelbase and had no rear seat. AMC built 19,134 of them: 6,725 for 1968, 8,293 for 1969 and 4,116 for 1970. From 1971 to 1974 the AMX name was used on a high-performance version of the Javelin.

The AMC Eagle was a four-wheel-drive passenger car that AMC launched for the 1980 model year. It was closely based on the AMC Concord and came as a two-door sedan, a four-door sedan and a four-door station wagon, with permanent four-wheel drive standard at launch. In February 1980 the Christian Science Monitor reported AMC's president describing it as a car no one else had. Production continued until 1987.
