Those were actually pretty cool cars in their day, and they have recently become popular as collector cars. The rare V8 models bring some big bucks.

One of my sorority sisters had a gremlin (it was a horrible purple.) It was always the butt of jokes. They called it the roller skate car. Seems to me it broke down a lot. But it was the 80's, so maybe the car was just too old.

It was not a car I would have purchased.

It's too bad AMC didn't make it. Considering their always limited R&D budgets, they actually had some groundbreaking designs and produced some pretty reliable cars. Their Javelin and AMXs were under-respected, and they faired very well compared to the Mustangs and Cameros, etc. An AMX in good condition brings big bucks nowadays.

You might recall that the James Bond film "The Man With The Golden Gun" featured AMC cars, and that made them quite cool for awhile.

If I recall correctly, my uncle had a Gremlin, first 4 speed on the column I'd ever seen. I couldn't figure out *what* he was doing with that shifter.

One of the ugliest cars ever made.

My Brother and Sister-in-law had one each in the late 70's. I always thought they were kinda cool.

I was riding in the backseat of one that spun out into a guardrail during a driving rainstorm on I-75.

Good Times....

And the Pacer. My neighbor ended up with one and HATED it. I think it was borrowed from her in-laws until a car her husband had ordered was available...

The Pacer was butt ugly. The only car uglier was the Pontiac Aztec. I actually kinda liked the Gremlin.

 

[Boss 302]

I thought both the Pacer and Gremlin to be the ugliest cars on the market. We used to joke if someone farted in a Pacer, it would end up with the windows blown out. We used to call the Pacer a greenhouse on wheels.

The wings and cat eye tail lights were not very attractive on the 59 Chevys.

Pontiac Aztec

Yes! This thing is horrible.

 

[Boss 302]

The Aztec didn't last long.

The Aztec didn't last long.

Yup,,, It died along with Pontiac when GM became Government Motors,,, So I guess you could say that Obama did something totally right and totally wrong at the same time!

The director of the Industrial Design department at Tech back in the early 70's thought that the Pacer was the best car design in decades. While he was a really nice guy and did some great work, I sort of always "doubted his commitment to Sparkle Motion" after that.

It was in many ways, but the public wasn't ready for it.
