Eddie is "The Man" when it comes to AMC info. He's a credit to our
hobby. Although when we were both growing up in different parts of the
country AMC & Rambler's were the norm for us and just a normal part of
life. Thanks Eddie for saving all that info., and sharing it with us.
Most of it I have long forgotten due to a case of CRS.
