'80's Metropolitan Concept car, anyone want a scan? :?)



 I was looking thru one of the old SIA ( Special Interest Autos ) 
magazines I'd bought at Carlisle last year, which had a Jeep history article 
in it. While thumbing thru thoroughly this time, I noticed a lineart 
picture...hey! That looks like a Metro! It was, it was an AMC engineering 
exercise during the early '80's when some of the older engineers were trying 
to revive some interesting ideas because they weren't satisified with all the 
"progressive" ideas of the time. They had the front end looking like a Spirit 
with the squared headlights, with the old Metro grill, and a tapered more 
aerodynamic rear glass area, but the door was pretty much lifted right from 
the old Metro, as were the rooflines, it looked pretty "interesting", to say 
the least. It's a half-page article/picture, I can scan it and send it along 
to any interested parties. Just let me know. I'll scan it today, and have it 
ready to go!
