Re: [AMC-list] wagons ho! (what did you do with your amc today)

Aggies love it, of course Texas A&M is about 1 1/2 hours from us so lots of Ags around 
Houston. Seems to be a common color, along with silver for 88 Eagles. I have never seen 
much literature or paint chip charts, not much of anything except owner manual's for 88 
Eagles, seems AMC already had mind made up in May 1987 so simply told suppliers halt 
stuff.
