1974 AMC Ambassador

The 1974 model year proved challenging for all full size vehicles in the wake of the oil crisis, and the Ambassador was discontinued after the 1974 model year. The new hood and front bumper followed the grille's central protrusion, giving the car a subtle coffin nose look. It coincided with the introduction of the all new 1974 Matador coupe, as the Ambassador nameplate, in use from 1927 until 1974, was the longest continuously used car nameplate until then.
