There were 1988 model year AMCs even CryCo lists AMC as '54-'88 model years . . . Why do these though few vehicles get ignored ? ! ? ! ? Chrysler hates AMC and even they recognize the early 88 model year AMC's n AM-Jeeps . . .

Well, it says "pictorial History", so I bet it's mostly photos with captions and little text. Haven't seen it though, and like you I'd like to see a review if someone has it. I suspect it's like the Photo Archive series or Foster's "AMC Cars 1954-87, An Illustrated History" at best.

Have any of you bought a copy of the new Nash book by Don Narus?

Seehttp://newalbanybooks.com/products.php

I want to know if it's worth buying.

Hey Carl (et;al):

Remember at the San Marcos museum show -- that 20-something girl dressed in
'60's-era clothes and hair and makeup posing with the cars??  They had a few
shots of her with my Pacer; but would they give me a copy??   No!!   They
actually expected me to PAY for a copy.  Didn't know the Rambler mentality
very well.........

Ps: My wife finished my AMC quilt -- will get pics soon.

Perhaps you should have asked for a fee for letting her pose with your car!

I must have missed the original thread of the 'end of 60 year era'. Kids attention are going to constantly shift minute to minute. 
What might have captured our attention span then might not them now. And their kids will probably have different interests than our 
kids. My two oldest kids could give a rat's patooie about AMC (where did I go wrong, oh, sorry I marreied their blair witch mother 
in 70s) but like the cars, just could care less about them and sure as hell don't want to work on one. Might own one, just don't 
want to waste a hour tuning carb when could be texting friends about what to wear to beach.

My kids (2 youngest) thought it was really "cool" that dad's car was on tv 4th of July 2012 yesterday.

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/sc360/sc360-houston-tv-2012.jpg

the short video on youtube here:

http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&video_id=3MRVs-o0qw8

"hey look poppa Arafat is going to come back from grave is he on Plants Vs Zombies?" Uh, no, but good anology. There are many ways 
to keep kids in the game and get them interested. Make them sit on blistering hot 120+ degree AMC Rebel seats promising ice cream is 
one way

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/68rebel_kids.JPG

Threats is another. You can threaten to put photos on Facebook:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/easy_financing.jpg

Curiosity is one my favorites, kids, boys and girls are curious about puzzles, LEGOs, and what happens if you stick hand in 7 blade 
flex fan on AMC:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/start_young.jpg

Bribery is yet another item to keep kids interested in AMC or anything. It's like driving in Mexico, you have to bribe federales. Or 
like working for Nike in China. I like to bring out fishing pole with Hot Wheels cars for my slave labor (labour if Canadian):

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/restoration/73_amx_32.jpg

If worried about 'kids' being interested in these old cars we collect, expose them to them. Not all will take the bait either. On my 
site it mentions car shows and events held 'outside the summer window' which instantly eliminates families, or anyone in higher 
education like college or university:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/stuff/how-to-do-amc-meet.htm

so if a meet in say November or April, many people simply can't take off from school or plan vacation around it so it cuts down 
attendance, and well, eliminates those future AMCers.

Today (July 5th, 2012) I happened to be in Bellaire, which is a city inside Houston picking up some AMC speaker braces for 68-70 
AMX, and had Noah & Jacob with me. Since in bellaire we went to Bellaire Broiler Burger, some of best burgers in Houston, near 
corner of Chimney Rock & Bellaire. We were in the low miler 82 Concord woodie wagon.

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/Photo_Gallery_AMC/baby-bessie-82.jpg

Parked it out front and as we got out, there was young man, probably in 20s, talking to girl (good looking girl) and he said 'excuse 
me sir, who makes that car?' and I said "American Motors, AMC did it is a 1982 Concord" and he said, 'man that is nice' so I said 
'thanks'. Since he was with a ladt friend I didn't bother to tell him the car was sold NEW 2 blocks from there at Vance & Sons:

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/amc-dealerships/vancensonsshowroom.jpg

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/amc-dealerships/vancensonsfront.jpg

30 years ago this year. This is original decal on it.

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/amc-dealerships/vance_sons_decal.jpg

So we went inside and ate. I did notice he came over and checked it out further. Good. And bring that cheerleader looking girl with 
you in the 98 degree heat. Bottom line is we living in time when many people can't spell ot even text word AMC.

I think the hobby in good hands and anything anyone can to to increase involvement, pride of ownership, or educate youngsters about 
what AMC was is a good thing. Lucky for us many new reproduction parts have flooded market in last 15 or so years which (in my 
opinion) makes it easier to get kids involved since more stuff available for them to fix up a car, whether by themselve or with 
parents help. Hopefully I am right. I can tell you I am not worried!

Hey All:

 

My wife, the best car-guy wife I could ever hope for, just finished up an
AMC quilt.  She took up quilting a while back with the neighborhood ladies
(she needed a hobby), and made me a car-guy AMC quilt from a bunch of Route
66-themed fabrics.   Its way cool; check it out:

 

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk124/Jensenguy/AMCQuilt001.jpg

 

I bet she could sell these if they weren't so much of a pain to make.

I know this may seem smart ass but, I have never owned a AMC car that the first thing that 
I did when I got it was throw away the stock air cleaner . What good are they? ?Also kids today are just as car crazy as we were, but with today's economy they go with what is cheap ( Japanese) car's. My son 22? is influenced by me and has a 360 Spirit AMX .? Hope this makes sense.
