Re: [AMC-list] amc titles & saving AMC intermediates

I still wander over to your site and look at pics of the Hornet wagon
and Concord wagon. Can't believe they haven't been picked up yet. Not
much love for wagons, but for me - I like the American. Hornet and
Concord wagons as well as the Classic, Matador and Ambassador wagons.
Heck, I like most all AMC wagons and a whole lot of AMC sedans.
