Not the start to a bad joke!

The Eagle is one that is sitting behind a transmission shop and has been there for a long time now. I had some work done on my Eagle when I first got it and the shop owner told me it was a friend of his. They work on it from time to time I guess. When I get some money around, I might have to make on offer!



The Hornet I saw at an auto service station. It is really nicely done! A show car for sure. I had to stop and get a picture of it at least.

I totally thought you were going to say "An Eagle and a Hornet walk into a bar..."  ::)

I have GOT to add a Hornet hatchback to my fleet someday.  The lines on those cars are just perfect.  I know I've said this before, but it's a shame that AMC axed the Concord hatchback after 1979.  I wish they had carried it forward into 1980 and made an Eagle version of it.
