I really need to subscribe to Hemmings.  I didn't realize that Patrick Foster had a column.  I think I have a couple of his books.

Newest Motor Trend ( NEW 302 Mustang on the cover ) has an article about Edsel names. Turns out they actually had one called Spacer before AMC came out with theirs. AMC pictured by the name.

I bet the part is carefully placed on the Eagle.  Who ever loaned them the car was probably adamant about that.

Don't know whether this one has been mentioned, last night while watching the tube, what I believe was an auto insurance ad, normally I don't pay attention to comercials so I don't remember exactly what company it was for. Reguadless, what caught my eye was the guy stewing/sobbing over his wrecked AMC era XJ cherokee/wagoneer, toatled from behind, the commercial continued with the insurance agent driving down a dusk two lane, pulling off the side to take a picture of a "For Sale" FSJ Grand Wagoneer and sending it to the customer, this goes without saying but the guy was happy.
Even Insurance Companies "get it".

I was reading the latest issue of Popular Hot Rodding at work yesterday (BTW, my friend Scott's '65 Impala Daily Driver is in there) and come across a full page on a GOOOOOORGEOUS Black 67 Rebel, that is one of the best looking cars of all time IMO

Can't believe nobody's mentioned Police Academy ( the first one ). Mahoney parks on top of an American(? some type of small Rambler ) & they use AMCs for police cars.

In police Academy they were using Ambassadors (almost sure) as they were used as real police cars in the states.

Nope, they were Matadors.   LAPD bought a bunch of them back in the day.  AMC's exposure on show's like Adam 12 really gave AMC a boost.
