Watching Car Crazy last night. they were in Puerto Rico. A guy had a 79 AMX - totally sweet.I saw it in the background several times, and was happy when they finally did show it up close and talk to the guy.Not sure if it was an old episode or not.

Don't know if this counts or not, but while playing around on You Tube the other day, I found a song with video called Nash Rambler. Shows several pictures of them. Not sure if it's okay to post it here or not, so I'll skip posting it.

This is not really in the media, but I am student teaching this semester.  We are working on multi-digit multiplication problems in my fifth grade math class.  I wrote 10 story problems for a review station I am doing tomorrow.  I foresee an AMC Education session in the very near future.  I included the Eagle in one problem.  The students have to calculate the mileage per tank of my saturn and my Eagle and let me know which vehicle can go further on a single tank of gas. 

Answer: The Saturn has the Eagle beat by 68 miles per tank (using EPA estimates).  Of course the Eagle has a larger tank than the eagle by 6 or 7 gallons.  But I am liking I found a way to work the Eagle into a lesson.

How about the Bond classic "The Man with the Golden Gun". Roger Moore drove a Hornet and there are other AMC vehicles in the movie. One of the biggest scenes is where the Hornet was sent spiraling into the water during a car chase.

Look up "AMC Hornet" on Google and look for the link to Wikipedia. It tells all about Hornet's place in the movie and where the actual car he drove is stored.

If you are ever curious about any vehicles seen on TV or in Movies there is a really cool site that is the IMDB of cars...coincidentally it is called IMCDB :)

http://www.imcdb.org/

You can look up any car and see what movies it's been in.

Probably been posted already, but I just finished watching Convoy. Arizona was using AMCs (Matadors?) in the movie.

Not sure if this counts as "the Media". Just saw this on "You Tube". Maybe somebody here?

I watched the movie Playing For Keeps and I noticed a 1980 Wagon on a dirt road and a Concord or Eagle coupe parked on a street. A few frames after the coupe was an AMC Spirit or SX4 in a parking lot. I was really thrilled over this!  ;D

Thanks for the info. Whuntmore!! Still consider myself more or less a  :newbie: here. Trying to keep my nose clean & not upset "The Powers That Be". I'll go back & find it.


Here's the one I watched. They have different versions. One has some shots of a NICE old Rambler.

During the season finale? I was watching that too. I thought I saw an Eagle wagon, but after a hare look...or another angle or something I decided it wasn't.

Watching the first couple episodes of Heroes on Netflix the other day one of the main characters drives a Gremlin!
