>> i see the AMC-Jeep connection was made in 1970. i would have
guessed earlier.
i lived in toledo in the early 70s and i recall Javelin-AMXs
being produced at one of the Willys plants downtown, must have been
73ish. course that's all a little vague, didn't know i should have
been keeping notes for history back then. When you drive by
something a few times a day, you don't suspect you'll have a need to
remember it.
a fellow teenage friend had connections and got a summer job at
the plant making big UAW $. a job we all wanted. he told stories of
how they'd work as fast as possible, get their number required done
in 4hrs, then play cards for 4hrs.

otoh when your car was made, jeep and amc were not yet connected. yes
jeep bought amc engines for the waggies and pickups, but purely as a
customer.
" i'm thinkin' of getting a little card made up that more or less has that info.
" just hand it out.
you might also want to diagram the family tree... don't forget
