Anyone seen this site yet?  Dandy stuff...

Yes, but why is stuff like this:

and why is more stuff like this:

not on an AMC site --- created by the AMC hobby's OWN clubs and fans?

Quite by accident recently, I saw that a new source for AMC auto art

http://www.dannywhitfield.com/amc.html

is available; shortly thereafter, completely by accident, I saw that a
former AMC List-participant organization had info on the artist's model. 

http://www.alamo-amc.org/members/Mattwilson.htm

Given state of AMC info, many AMC fans may not have seen either website.
Given the years AMC has been fading from currency, few AMC fans may also
know how one of its later chief executives has faded

over the years since AMC faded from the American car world.

He still has a telephone (which I'd provide to anyone serious about AMC
history), but given the state of AMC research, it probably doesn't ring too
often --- with AMC questions --- anymore.  Buy 'em, sell 'em, build 'em to
run fast (or to just run): that's the state of collector-car AMC?

Or maybe the only value of automotive history today is as sales tool for
tomorrow.  "Top Bananana" and "GoManGo" have value; P-2, P-3 and P-4 may be
real "Big" for selling rolling AMC relics, but may be "Bad" since few AMC
fans may know their real names ["Brite Blue" just "Orange" and "Jade Green"]
anymore.  "Cheers" really ain't the AMC bar (or the AMC List) it once was -
just a few years ago.

Despite how fast AMC fans are fading; the future still feels from AMC.

When [if?] you follow introductions next month in Geneva (Switzerland, not
Wisconsin), ask yourself if Dodge Caliber follows [a 5-door] Eagle Kammback
or if Renault 217 follows [what AMC called] 1979 Spirit sedan.  Then ask
Trevor Creed (Senior VP, Chrysler Group Design who said: "With its bold
styling and clever packaging, Caliber is pure Dodge.") --- if he, too, may
have forgotten the value of AMC history.
