AMX-Clamation!!!Volumevolume 15 Number 1 Jan.-Feb Serving the Northeast Ohio AMC enthusiast since 1991 AMX-Clamation!!!VolumeVolume 15 Number 1 Jan.-Feb. 2006 American Motors Ramblings... Scott Campbell Here’s hoping everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. As you read this, we are well into 2006 so please send in those NCAMC renewals ASAP or this just might be your last issue of the newsletter! Looking over our current roster, I see that not very many of us are members of our parent club, the American Motors Owners Association. That’s OK as it isn’t a requirement for NCAMC membership. However this indicates an alarming trend affecting the entire old car hobby. More and more the computer is replacing many other traditional forms of communication. Back in the mid-1990s Bob Browske wrote in this newsletter about the value of the internet for locating parts and making AMC contacts. I admit that I was one of the last holdouts who wasn’t online until just a few years ago. But as I found out, Bob was absolutely right! I now use the computer to buy and sell cars, locate parts and information, send messages, even for entertainment purposes. And while the web, including eBay and all of the various forums have experienced tremendous growth and success, the AMO Classifi ed American has all but dried up. Nobody wants to wait weeks or even months for their ad to appear. It’s so much quicker to click on eBay, that larger than life sorting program and online auction. Additional proof is the AMC Pacer Club, its demise attributed to the wealth of Pacer information now available on the net. So now everything is done online, so what? Well, as more and more AMC owners have decided to abandon AMO there is already a noticable decline in participation at the regional and national AMC shows. As I recall the very fi rst Rich- ard Teague regional in 1982 had over fi fty 1968-70 AMXs present! Now even the national meet typically draws less than 200 entries total, this with more and more AMCs being restored, driven and (fi nally) acknowledged by the automotive media. AMO is the glue that holds all of the local chapters together. The club works to prevent scheduling confl icts, provides insurance, sets judging standards and generally sanctions many aspects of the AMC hobby. Another valuable benefi t of AMO membership is American Motoring, the national newsletter. Printed articles, car features and historical data in these issues form a permanent archive not subject to loss with a single keystroke. The old AMC Forum is a good example here with countless pages of information lost forever. Sure the current trend is to compile information on a web site, but web sites are not forever, books are. Maybe I’m just old fashioned but that’s how I see it. Having said this, I would encourage all NCAMC members who have not already joined to become a member of AMO this year. Your support will enable the national club to continue to provide valuable assistance to us on a local level, as well as guarantee the future of regional and national AMC shows. Hey, use your computer for all it’s worth, but don’t allow it to replace a club so important to our great hobby. To join up visit amonational.com. Let’s do our part to prevent the AMC hobby from going the way of the Model T hobby. Welcome goes out to new member, Tom Pauer of Berea. Tom owns an aqua and white 1965 Marlin powered by an AMC 327 V8. It currently has 68,000 miles and with just a few upgrades, it became an October 2005 winner in the Summit Racing online car show.

Member Profile Dan Koch I’ve been a member of North Coast AMC for about 4 years, and have run into Don Moyer several times over that span. I always thought he was just the owner of a really fine Rebel Machine. Well, he’s all that and a bag of chips. Turns out, you couldn’t swing a dead cat at his place without hitting yet another different AMC. And his extraordinary interests don’t stop there – he dabbles in street rods, rat rods, and race cars of all different pedigrees. Member Profile Name Don Moyer Current AMCs 1969 S/C Rambler 401 4spd, 1970 Amx 390 4spd, 1970 Rebel Machine, 390 Automatic, 1973 Gremlin X 401 Automatic, 1975 Gremlin 401 Automatic Modifications I have made to these cars I have too many modifica- tions to write here. Other AMC’s I have owned in the past I have owned too many AMC vehicles to list. Future projects I have to say that as for AMC vehicles, what more could I want? I am blessed with the collection that I have. I would like to dabble in racing the 73 Gremlin X. What this club lacks is a performance image. I would like to see more interest in NAMDRA functions in the future. I do plan to build an AMC powered nostalgia Hot Rod (jalopy). I am currently building a 1941 Willys gasser that is powered by the famous Grant Rebel Funny Car engine. Other AMC’s I have lusted after SS AMX or an AMC funny car with history How I got interested in AMCs My dad purchased a purple gremlin in 1971. He purchased a blue poly gremlin in 1975 for my mother. They gave me that blue car when I turned 16 years old in 1983. That was my first car and I still have it today. I have been maintaining that car since I was 10! Growing up in Cleveland Ohio, one has become used to our pathetic sports teams and our cities image in general. We never win big. We are always the underdog, yet I always support Cleveland. Cleveland is this country’s underdog. I look at AMC as an underdog, also. My attraction to AMC is to prove to the collector car world that AMC is an equal! Party on, Don! You’re what I want to be when I grow up! Great AMC Day V Ken Walker If you like to race, watch, or just spend the day checking out AMCs on display, be sure to mark your calendar for Friday, June 9th 2006.

  • Gordon Davis- Forward Look Designer
    Gordon Davis- Forward Look Designer G. Gordon Davis was born and raised in Ludington, MI during the Great Depression. As soon as he could hold a pencil, he drew cars. He was still drawing cars when he was accepted into the University of Notre Dame in 1953. His sketches from that time were discovered by Bob Bourke, then Director of Design at Studebaker in South Bend, IN. At Bourke’s suggestion, Davis transferred to the Art Center School in Los Angeles (now the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena CA) where he studied automotive design. As an Art Center alumnus, Davis was hired by Director of Design, Virgil Exner, at Chrysler Corp. It was fortuitous, as it was the dawn of the legendary Forward Look era. First assigned to the Advanced Design Studio, Davis contributed to Chrysler’s turbine concept designs. He was soon transferred to the Chrysler Studio where his 1957 Forward Look that visualized future concepts inspired Exner’s Ghia-built XNR prototype. The XNR in turn influenced Chrysler’s early 1960s product lineup. By late 1957, Davis was assigned to the DeSoto Studio where he designed the exterior trim for the 1959 DeSoto. Although the ’59 DeSoto’s sheet metal had been approved by 1957, the “jewelry” had not. Davis designed the eagle medallions that appeared on the front bumper and deck lid, the DeSoto lettering, the Firesweep side moldings, the “turbine” wheel covers, and the optional bumperettes. Davis was one of three Chrysler designers recruited by Exner’s second-in-command Wm. Schmidt, when Chrysler management gave Schmidt a contract to design concepts independently of Exner.

  • The Talepipe
    The Talepipe March 2019 Fallbrook Vintage Car Club The Fallbrook Vintage Car Club is a group of members that share a common interest in the preservation and appreciation of vintage vehicles. We are dedicated to serving others through charitable events and activities that reflect positively on the Fallbrook community. A Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America About This Month’s Cover See the story about Bob Nixon elsewhere in this issue... The AMC Gremlin (also American Motors Gremlin) is an American subcompact automobile introduced in 1970, manufactured and marketed in a single, two-door body style in America (1970- 1978) by American Motors Corporation (AMC) — as well as in Mexico (1974-1978) by AMC’s Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) subsidiary. Featuring a shortened Hornet platform and bodywork with a pronounced, almost vertical tail, the Gremlin was classified as an economy car by 1970’s U.S. standards. It competed with the Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto, as well as imported cars that included the Volkswagen Beetle and Toyota Corolla. The small domestic automaker marketed the Gremlin as “the first American-built import”. The Gremlin reached a total production of 671,475 over a single generation — and was superseded by a (thoroughly) restyled variant, the AMC Spirit. Designed to look either “cute or controversial - depending on one’s viewpoint ... for many, it seemed perfect for the free-thinking early 1970’s.” American Motors executives apparently felt confident enough to not worry that the Gremlin name might have negative connotations. Time magazine noted two definitions for gremlin: “Defined by Webster’s as ‘a small gnome held to be responsible for malfunction of equipment.’ American Motors’ definition: ‘a pal to its friends and an ogre to its enemies.’” The car’s cartoon-inspired mascot was marketed for product differentiation and was intended to be memorable to consumers.

  • The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car Article from Fish Tales
    Marlin History The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car By Joe Howard, Fish Tales Editor Vol 9 No 1, March 2008 Distinctive! Different! That best describes the AMC Marlin. There certainly was nothing else like it on the road when it debuted in 1965. How did the Marlin come to be? How did the design concept begin? Viewing the Marlin in retrospect, we can see that it has proven to be one of the most popular of all collectible AMCs. Let’s look back and see how this unique automobile started. Early in 1963, American Motors management started angling for “a new car with a sports flair”. Richard (Dick) Teague, then AM’s Director of Styling, and his staff were happy to comply. Their average age hovered around 35, and they were excited about developing a car more suited to younger tastes. One opinion by Jim Alexander, a former AM designer, was that Teague chose a compact fastback because he had heard about Plymouth’s soon-to-be-released Barracuda “and felt that we could do something like that, too”. On the other hand, Vince Geraci, who managed Senior Car exteriors, couldn’t recall any mention of the Barracuda at that time but suggested that Teague “wanted a fighter for the Mustang. [And] we didn’t have the wherewithal that Ford had to retool. We either had to take it off the American body, or off the Classic body”. The 1964 Rambler Tarpon Concept Car Either way, Teague’s answer was a pillarless, fastback roofline grafted on to AM’s entry-level Rambler American.

  • 1.01 Cars of the 50'S –
    American Motors Corporation Model Descriptions and General Information 1.01 Cars of the 50's – Hudson and Nash Combine to Become American Motors Once the plan fell through to acquire Packard, Nash moved ahead with its own grand scheme - which began in 1955 with the real start of American Motors. For the 1955 year, American Motors combined the Nash and the Hudson product lines under a common manufacturing strategy, while retaining both the Nash and Hudson established dealer networks. The fast-selling Rambler model was sold under both the Nash and Hudson labels in 1955 and 1956, eventually becoming a marque in its own right, and the mainstay of the company. Regardless of what they were called, these were badge-only engineered Ramblers (along with similar Metropolitans) were identical, aside from hubcaps, nameplates, and a few other minor trim details.
