1979-1983 AMC Concord

I wish I could say this car is a 1979 or any year up until the 1983 when it was last produced but I can’t tell.  This car was the last gasp for AMC and its U.S. designed and built cars. The AMC Concord was an attempt at providing a “Luxury” look and feel with an economical price tag.

AMC struggled for almost 30 years after being formed in the 1954 amalgamation of Nash and Hudson motor companies.  By 1983 AMC was no longer credit worthy and Renault acquired a controlling interest in AMC to help fund the company.

This particular car looks like new. It is really in great shape and truly is a Car You Don’t See Everyday.

59 Nash, Still Looks Good

One day a few years ago, I went to our local supermarket on 18th Street.  When I came out, this 59 Nash was sitting right there.  I don’t know why, but I love the way these cars looked.  My aunt had a convertible from about 1959 that looked a lot like this car.  Talking to my cousin, he recalled it having a top that slid along the top of the car so it was just the middle part of the roof and the rear window frame that was canvas.  Nice car.

One Early Compact Car (1961 Custom Hardtop)




I’m guessing that this Rambler first appeared in 1957 or 1958. It was a classic for its time. It was small compact and, relatively speaking, economical. But gas was cheap and sales were low. This was taken a few blocks from my house.

From the rear it looks like this.

What year is the car?
