Easy Street

["Mahoney, John" <JMahoney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Like with every thing else with this car nothing can be easy, so why should this be any different?

Why?  Because no one will ever find a NOS non-stick E-Stick AMC "grill" --- and everyone will suffer from head pain when parading down lighted E St.

even if this text on the final title card seen in that iconic 1917 film:

"Love Backed by force, forgiveness sweet,
Brings hope and peace to Easy Street."

is altered to fit a 1974 Hornet with a 1975 -grille-.

"Hope Backed by dream, forgiveness sweeping,
Brings fact and light to AMC Streeting."

Clowns may be funny, but fools are tools.

And "Chrome and Paint" is "Why We Thugs."

What did "something more interesting with forgotten AMC history" mean?

Looking "outside the box," seeking beyond "the usual suspects," making "more from less,' and putting "all it can be" into practice was what it meant.  It's not hard to learn all the facts and figures from a rather short (1954-1987) car company history.  Every AMC owner and fan could do that.  But that story, no matter how fascinating it might be to AMC aficionados, won't reach the wide world beyond you and me, unless it's made more interesting.  There's no limit to the possibility: no reason for Nash-Rambler-AMC to be any less than any of the best of the Big-3.  AMC could also become one of the better known, and most-appealing American -independent- collector makes if more of its untold "rest-of-the-story" history is not forgotten.  Time passes; so do memories.
