Re: [AMC-List] P is for cars,and other Ramblings (1969 AMC Family Album)

[farna@xxxxxxx]

The "AMC Family Album" isn't as rare as you'd think Michael. It was rather popular, popular enough that AMC updated it in 1975 (has 76 models too!) and printed it as "The American Motors Family Album" (I have a copy of it). The intro mentions the "Rambler Family Album" and a "Nash Family Album" (just as the 69 does), but not another AMC one. It does mention that it's printed periodically though. I don't know of one between 69 and 75, and none after. I've only seen a copy of the "Nash Family Album". Copies occasionally pop up on e-bay, but they are rather prized by owners of AMC cars who have one, and don't show up often.

-------> Well, I WISH I could claim credit for The Old Car Manual Project, but 
this most awesome of documentation sites is actually run by an individual with 
the handle of Doc Rusty.  So far, I haven't seen my copy of the '69 Family Album show up there, but Rusty just sent an e-mail assuring me that it would 
be on the front page of The Old Car Manual Project at:

whenever it does come online.  All 148 pages of Amazingly Munchable Candy have 
been scanned at 300 dpi and shipped. These have been compressed to about 1.5 
megabytes each. It should be understood that the person who donated this book to 
the Museum Archives paid around 90 bucks for it, and in its particular 
condition, this was a steal. But anyone who does much scanning knows that this 
priceless treasure was destroyed in the process of sharing an extremely rare 
piece of documentation with the larger AMC community. There were probably less 
than 1500 copies printed of this book. At least have a look at it. The
