Word power II

["Mahoney, John" <jmahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Could AMX, Javelin, SC/Rambler, Machine or AMX/3 [!] be built today?

If enough AMC people wanted to buy them, all could be built, indeed.

It depends on the people: their wants, their means and their dreams.

It depends on how strong, how resourceful, how independent they are.

Stiff upper lip and battle-hardened "been-there-done-that" attitude.

Think what AMC people could do, if, like Jeffery, they were British. 

Imagine words writ large on all new American Motors Corp. documents:

"We have no distributors or dealers at all.  Please contact us direct."

That's the way they could successfully build and sell us any new AMC.

Fantasy?

Or fact?

"We have no distributors or dealers at all.  Please contact us direct."

That's the spirit, the only way to do it.  Bully!  God Save the Unique!

We have no apologies for what we offer and, like one AMC List Rambler,

we can build one to run on LPG.

We sell "older" and newer cars

http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/BristolFighter.htm

(Snakebite Kit option recommended if driven around Vipers and Cobras)

and we still count a completely satisfactory "circle" of repeat buyers.

Hey, I'm not selling this stuff, I just look for AMC illustrations (and
there are far fewer of those [where are the AMC people?] than of these:

and [where ARE those AMC people?] these:

http://hem.bredband.net/b284654/IMAGES/logo.jpg

or in RWB [where IS AMC going?], these:

or even [a world HAS lost lots], these:)

It's highly possible someday that this:

(don't let unsupervised children Google for "amc logo"

http://images.google.com/images?q=amc+logo&hl=en&lr=&sa=G

because the "X" may be "eXperimental" in an uneXpected way) 

could be hard to find too.  Look what yields a bow tie now!

Who says we can't watch car paint dry out?  But back to the "quoting."

Bristol in 2005:

We (they) like being individualists and are willing to pay for that. 

We like the drive train a Kenosha-built M-body AMC car could've had.

Mopar in review:

"Police Package Diplomats were available starting in 1981 until the 1989
cancellation, with the ... 4bbl 360 V8 and tough 727 Torqueflite 3-speed."

AMC/Renault in 1985:

Please tell Chrysler Motors we would rather use our -own- 360-ci V-8:

(one of which may benefit from some spring cleaning and spray paint

if it doesn't have some much higher, er, ah, aspirations instead)

Chrysler Jeep in 1998:

Would a 360 in an AMC-designed body make the world's fastest SUV?

Well, gol-eee.  Harrah!  We finally have a factory-built Jerrari.

DaimlerChrysler in the 2000s:

New body, new drivetrain, new question,  Got a HEMI in that Jeep? 

So we end back where we began

http://www.bristolcars.co.uk/

knowing that the last of the "last" of yesterday

still lasts on the last of the "last" of today.

Interesting.  Pointless, but interesting.

Unless you like learning more about AMC.
