And its siblings—the Pacer, Matador, Ambassador and Javelin.
Strange times those, when Harley-Davidson was being run by AMF.

The Javelin/AMX weren't too bad.

I had a Matador, once upon a time, long, long ago.

It was actually a pretty darned good car. Had a 304 in it, if I remember right. Couldn't kill that thing.

The Pacer: the car with doors that weighed about a ton each. lol...

I think the main goal of creating the Pacer was to see if they could make something uglier than a Gremlin.

...and a few years later Jimmy Carter's "generic food" began showing up on grocery store shelves.

Strange times indeed.

I had a 1969 Javelin with the 390 V8, actally a nice looking car. I just couldn’t get the auto tranny to hold up even after getting it rebuilt. Mark Donohue drove the Javelin to I believe three Trans-Am championships.
