isn't the kid supposed to be in the back seat, in a properly restrained child car seat?.......

[ducatinova]

lol American's didn't wear seat belts or used child car seats in the 80's.

[syzygyio2]

Uhh yeah actually they did. At least the literate ones.

Looks like a great car.

I always loved this car and would like to own one one day. I never understood why they reffered to the car as the "American Eagle". I think it confused buyers. There was the Rambler American and it was made in America and by American Motors which went by the name of AMC some days and American Motors others. I think they always confused people...damn marketers!

they can be had for less than $1000. I got mine for $800, running and driving, but of course with the problems a 24 year old car has, worn hinge pins, emissions system removed by annoying previous owners, ect.

[syzygyio2]

"AMC" by that time made consumers think "Pacer" and "Gremlin" etc. Calling it the "American Eagle" was an attempt at a fresh start in terms of brand identity. But you are right, that did get confusing to some people.
