AMC 1971-1987 - constantly changing
Summary
There have been around 10,000 car brands and designers - most of which have disappeared. The American Motors Corporation, which began to establish itself in 1970 as a collective term for all Pw series, is also one of them. From 1979, however, Renault took over more and more of the AMC and 8 years later it went to Chrysler.

After American Motors Corporation was founded in 1954, Nash and Hudson initially remained as parent brands. In 1956, the basic Rambler series mutated into the company's own brand, and in 1958 all other models were merged into the Ambassador brand, but this was subordinated to Rambler a year later ...and promoted back to the company's own brand in 1966. Other brands followed: AMX (fastback sports coupé), Gremlin (subcompact with short tail), Hornet (Rambler successor), Javelin (Mustang class), Rebel (below Ambassador), Marlin (large fastback coupé 1965-1967). In 1970, American Motors took over Jeep, and AMC began to be used as a collective term for all passenger car series. These included Gremlin, Hornet, Matador (Rebel successor), Ambassador and Javelin in 1971. Their engines ranged from the 3.3 L 6-cylinder to the 6.6 L V8.
