“an R-21 (Medallion) I admit I have a soft spot in my head for Fine French Automibles”
The AMC Medallion. The Orphan car nobody wanted, that you simply couldn’t kill (or find anyone to work on.)
Had one in the early 90’s in California, that I bought for almost nothing. Found a junk yard that had two, so I always had steady supply of cheap parts for it. A cheaper version of the Audi 5000, which was another car you simply couldn’t kill.
Good mileage, and I put a blue million miles on it driving it back and forth across the country, before trading it for a Grand Cherokee in 96.
Renault made a cute little sports car (I’ve forgotten its name.) In the case of a flat tire, the tool kit contained a steel pipe that was to be inserted in the door frame. Jacking up one corner of the car without this “stiffener” could cause the body to fold at the door frame.
