Headers up! 

Jerry Jardine was DBA Doug Thorley, PerTronix was DBA Doug's exactly eight months ago today, 

http://www.pertronix.com/

and Kelly Bryant, former Jardine Performance Products/Doug Thorley Headers VP is now DBA Area P.  Life goes on.  P don't Diddy around. He can fabricate something for your AMC-Renault Alliance, or for your favorite bling Machine.

And AMC is still DBA interchange information --- available online.

Watts done?

D-cell, NiMH, LI-on, and FCEV technology could wipe what's left of Detroit off the map.  Toyota knows what it's doing, and so do NEC, Sanyo, Panasonic, and Chosun Ilbo of Korea.  (Americans buy its LG phones and appliances already; they'll buy trillions' worth of HEV vehicles and components from Asia [Japan, Korea, China, India, etc.] come 2010.)

8-year, 100,000-mile warranties, 15-year, 150,000-mile real-world lifespan, 250,000-mile proven durability under hard urban service; tomorrow won't go away if America sticks its manufacturing head in muscle car exhaust pipes and walks alongside horse-drawn carriages. 

The future is coming and facts are facts.

Click on the adopted list: "Hyrrier up and pile in, kids; we were due at [school/church/soccer match/violin lesson/the mall] ten minutes ago!" is not in the same league as "Load up the luxury Lexus RX400h!" now, is it?
We're fools and we don't even know it.

Don't be surprised when your AMC parts are delivered in a FedEx hybrid: Freightliner truck, Mercedes diesel, Hitachi battery.  Tomorrow: today.

And don't be surprised to learn that you paid for tomorrow.  Yesterday, today, and in the future.  Some of the technology Asia will sell us was developed right here in America --- at places like Lawrence Livermore.

Note the Top Level Domain and the tagline.  In whose national interest?

Note from Sunday's show: "Rosie" (the black/yellow Rambler) will be in HCC soon.  Another woman owner with an AM worthy of note.  Gwen, Karen; who will be next?  It might be you.  (Or maybe it might be your husband/boyfriend?) 

Scraps of paper drive me mad.  Let's get rid of them by typing info.

If it's already been posted (I know some has), read past or turn page.

In 10/05 HCC, if you don't care to compare the growth of Buffalo's P-A museum (I'd pay a premium price for fuel at a [Frank Lloyd] Wright gas station --- at least once) with whatever's not happening with Nash/AMC; if you don't care to compare the survival of Ghia Checkers with what's happened to the Stevens Ambassador or the Exner exercises for AMC, you can read:

"Ramblers are probably more popular now than they were when new or almost new, which makes their low prices oxymoronic" 

and

"The good news is that there is a strong AMC collector network out there"

you can consider the sub-$5k 30-year-old 'worthless' category,

"which, save for Javelins and AMXs, most of the American Motors lineup could comfortably fit into" 

You can consider the '71-'75 Hornet (but ignore the '76 and '77 Hornet?), you can consider the Gremlin V-8 letter and you can consider Pat Foster as a Packard historian.  He doesn't consider the '30s Cadillac, the '49 Buick and what Packard didn't know about Studebaker.  He might consider the wisdom of adding more marques to his AMC crown.

He might also reconsider the "new Nash-bodied Hudson [that] appeared in less than eight months."  If it was new, you're all as old as redwoods and I'm the real Santa Claus.

In his article on the Nash Met, he (and you) might want to consider the "Cavalier concept" --- way back on the "Fiat Traveler" rendering.  Note its interchangeable doors AND door hardware (rear-opening for passengers, suicide for thepilot): nothing was new and some historians still consider saying "Eureka!"

Finally, in The Classified American, consider "Nobody works harder and has a tighter community than those dedicated to preserving the history of American Motors."  I've been looking for that community since 1996.  If them is us and we are AMC, consider working even harder.  Or giving up completely.

In 8/05 CC (Collector, not Craft), Big Bad Blue Dewayne Ashmead writes on his 25-year experience with owning new Cadillacs.  His daily driver is now Japanese (since he refuses to be "penalized for patriotism...")

In 9/05 CC (Craft, not Collector), '74 Grem 360/AT is smokin', 1300-hp 485-cid Grem is wheelin' and --- wait, I think -I- posted these already.  "X" goes the pencil.  On to something else.

9/05 HCC '42 Hudson woody is a wagon, '47 Nash Ambassador Suburban is not a "station wagon" and the first Dodge Diplomat did not wear fins on its fenders or light bars on its roof.  You Mopar fans know well what it was.

Palm Beach was first in Lancialand and Rambler paint remains a mystery.

Teague's Predictor was as Italian (Ghia) as it was American (Creative).

And since Leake sold a '75 Hornet Sportabout for $2300 that "was listed on the popular AMC website Planet Houston for $500," the wunnerful band of tight, kind and friendly people can consider working even harder to promote and preserve the history of AMC.

In 8/05 T&CC (Thoroughbred & Classic Cars), an 8000 sq. ft. garage in Fond du Lac WI is visited.  It contained no AMCs.  A 70-car garage in Marshall TX is also visited.  It contains an ACD by a Pacer owner but not one car by AMC.  The issue contains a Pacer fan's nightmare (or a dream), the '55 Aurora.  Not an Olds.

In 7/05 CM (Classics Monthly), "The Ugliest Car in the World" isn't an AMC.  Three LeCars are in an article on how French drivers "should copy the 'legendary civility' of the British" (the UK has some of Europe's safest roads) and there's a Firenza V-8.  Vauxhall, not Olds, with, of course, a one-off AMC Spirit nose.  There's an article on dead marques' "last-ofs" - none AMC Spirits.  (There's a Frazer Nash photo, though...)


More scraps left.  Oh, no.
