Re: [AMC-list] Ford Levacar; Gremlin on CNN

[Ken Ames <ameskg@xxxxxxxxx>]

This 74 Gremlin got the same wheels my 'X' did in June of 1974. There was a
shortage of the 8 slot rallys (strike or something) so we got the Hornet wagon
size wheels painted silver. My 74 X still gets the best mileage of any AMC I have.
