Product Description
Formed in 1954 by the merger of The Hudson Motor Car Company and Nash-Kelvinator Corporation, American Motors Corporation was no ordinary company. It was the last, and the very best, of the great independent automakers, producing such notables as the muscle-flexing AMX and Javelin, and the forward-designed, 4-wheel-drive Eagle. Highly regarded AMC historian and expert, Patrick Foster, gives us an in-depth look at AMC and its cars from its beginning in 1954 through its demise in 1987. Over 300 photos combined with informative captions show all of AMCs cars. A great reference for the AMC enthusiast!

 An incredible slideshow of the AMC cars November 7, 2007
I can't believe the level of "illustrated history".
A lot of pictures of every car, 2 or 3 per page, and the show of cars begin with the first 1954 models and shows all models until 1987, including the Renault cars from the joint betwenn AMC and Renault at ends of 70 decade (Renault 5 LeCar, Renault 9 Encore, Renault 11 Allianze.
I write from Spain (Europe) and I love the AMC models from 70-80 decades, and I know very well the Renault cars family.

This is one of the few books on the American Motors Corporation, unfortunately. The company had an interesting history with its highs and lows before it went out and deserves at least one ultimate paperwork on it. I bought it because I wanted technical and production information on the Pacer. And exactly this is not the topic of the book. It is a documentation with very minimal text (mostly the straight written history from the beginning of the consortium to the end in the nest of Chrysler and Renault), no trivia, no frame articles, no test results, no tech data or detailed figures.
On the "plus" side of the book are the nice b/w photos with cars shown. The quality of the book is okay for the price.
At least, I am still waiting for the guy/girl writing the fundamental, colored, illustrated book on American Motors...
