It's one notch above all those things we could bolt onto our (front engine, rear drive, etc) in the past -- whirling propellers under
carbs, and even beats magnets on fuel lines.

"You could fool me once (no no),
But you can't fool me two times (no no),
'Cuz I got three eyes (yeah yeah),
One look from the left side (yeah yeah),
The other from the right side (yeah yeah),
Got one eye on the inside (yeah yeah)"

The Grill Is Partially Painted   Mr. AMC   05/18/06   06:22 AM   1111

It doesn't matter if we're young or old; it doesn't matter if we're Ivy League or School of Hard Knocks; doesn't matter if we're rich, poor, or somewhere in the middle --- class is always in session every day of our lives.  Opportunities for self-improvement are endless 'til we draw our final breath.  If we don't make the most of the gifts we've been given, if we don't take every opportunity to learn, we are, indeed, simply fools.

So if '06 cars have grilles and '73 cars had grilles, what of '22 cars?

You may have guessed it: '22s had grilles too.

But did you guess which cars at the 12/21 NY show had relevance to AMC?

nine new names... which would eventually have some relevance to Nash-AMC.

With Wills-St. Claire, Rickenbacker, Kelsey, Handley-Knight, Frontenac, Durant, and Bournonville came an Ambassador.  With neither a Nash badge above nor a Morris body behind its radiator grille, but with a dream of self-improvement, profit, and longevity: a uniquely -American- dream.  The one everyone once had.

Each of those American motor companies worked very hard to build dreams,

but they all went the way American Motors did.  One of them, promoted as "America's finest Knight-powered car," was, in fact, powered by the same Willys that would become part of AMC.  But, when it failed (in '23), it, along with a plant that built the [Dort] bodies the young Charles Nash had begun his car life by upholstering, led to another lost/last independent auto company.  The Handley plant became the new home of the [ex-IL] Checker Cab Manufacturing Company in April, and on June 18, the first [MI] car was built.

The year AMC bought Willys-Overland-Kaiser-Jeep, the founder of Checker died, and on July 12, 1982, Checker Motors, itself, died when that last lone car was built.  The next year, American Motors' RWD-car dream died too, but now the poor AMC fools don't know when that happened and where that last car went.  I'm as poor and foolish as any of them.  I think it's a disgrace.  I think AMC is a lost cause.  I think it's time to give up.
