I had a '70 AMC Gremlin. That really should have been Car of the

I had a couple friends with AMC cars - they seemed to have the
weirdest things break - a Gremlin was the only case that I have ever
heard of a seat breaking - drivers seat-back - the car wasn't
abused and no extra-large drivers. The rolling greenhouse Pacer
was said to be a nightmare for getting parts - mid year model
changes & a parts/supply chain that couldn't cope ..


Friend of mine had an Eagle--by the time he sold it Flintsone Brakes
was an option--there was no longer a floor in it.
