AMC is the badge that American Motors Corporation put on its own cars once the Rambler name was retired, with the Ambassador, Javelin, AMX, Hornet, Gremlin, Pacer, Matador, Concord, Spirit and the four wheel drive Eagle. American Motors was formed in 1954 by the merger of Nash and Hudson, ran as the smallest of the American car makers, and teamed up with Renault in 1979. Chrysler bought it in 1987, mainly for the Jeep line. This site keeps AMC badged cars under this make, while Rambler, Nash and Hudson cars of the same company keep their own makes.
