>> i see the AMC-Jeep connection was made in 1970. i would have guessed earlier. i lived in toledo in the early 70s and i recall Javelin-AMXs being produced at one of the Willys plants downtown, must have been 73ish. course that's all a little vague, didn't know i should have been keeping notes for history back then. When you drive by something a few times a day, you don't suspect you'll have a need to remember it. a fellow teenage friend had connections and got a summer job at the plant making big UAW $. a job we all wanted. he told stories of how they'd work as fast as possible, get their number required done in 4hrs, then play cards for 4hrs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- otoh when your car was made, jeep and amc were not yet connected. yes jeep bought amc engines for the waggies and pickups, but purely as a customer. " i'm thinkin' of getting a little card made up that more or less has that info. " just hand it out. you might also want to diagram the family tree... don't forget studebaker [amgeneral]! ________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Hay the genius nature internet rambler is to see what all have seen adh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and think what none thought -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
