        That thing is nuts.  A bute and a half.  Absolutely perfect for the 1985 inauguration; way to go federal government.  That car back there does look like a Sundancer.

Is DESA's white Wagon one of these or is it just an all white one?  I thought this was one of the only all white Eagles produced.

Kraton was a plastic produced by AMC's plastics subsidary' although I think Shell actually held the patent.  Few people know AMC did their own plastic work.

Is that why it's so hard to find new plastic parts for AMC's?

Did the government actually buy these, and were they used in the inauguration?
Or did AMC build them for a promotion to coincide with the inauguration?

 would really like to have one of these for the sheer odd historical fact that they were used in the inaguration.
