AMCs in the media

Two words: Knight Rider 

I watched this show religiously as a kid, and thought it was totally awesome back then.  Well, 25 years later I still think it's totally awesome but for entirely different reasons.  I never realized just how jam-packed it is with AMC sightings.

Last Christmas my wife finally gave in and got me the entire box set (thanks, honey).  The only stipulation was that I had to watch it while she wasn't around, so she didn't have to "suffer through it" as she put it.  I finally got an opportunity to watch awhile ago, threw in the first disc, and just five minutes into the first episode is a light blue Eagle sedan in the background of a parking lot scene. 

The sightings just keep rolling from there.  Unfortunately an early Gremlin gets wrecked during one episode about a stunt show, but mostly the AMCs are just background dressing.  In another episode, a parkade scene features at least four Hornets and Concords.  In that same episode, our hero David Hasselhoff valiantly scoops a damsel in distress from the path of a speeding car and they tumble onto the hood of a Concord.    There's one red '73 Gremlin that shows up in about five different episodes. 

I'm on Season 2, Episode 3 now, and still racking up the AMC visuals.  Ah, guilty pleasures...

was watching pass time on speed channel and a guy used an 86 jeep cherokee that ran a 9.66 in the quarter mile after doing a wheel stance on takeoff.

Was that the black one?

[maddog]

no it was white.

Check out the video for Weezer's "Beverly Hills."  The band gets invited over to the Playboy Mansion to perform the song, and some of their friends pull up to the mansion in a Gremlin!

Watching the show Fringe the other night, great show by the way!, they had a flashback episode to 1985 in an parallel universe and in one scene they placed what I am going to guess are TWO AMC cars in...
I am thinking 1970 AMX and a Spirit


A front shot of the AMX.  The marquee identifies the parallel universe.  Maybe in that universe AMC survived and is the #1 automaker today!


Whaddaya Think?

Kojak Seas. 1 Ep. 1, Ambassador early in the show. Then ( I think ) Ep.7? I believe it was a Hornet somewhere around ( I think ) around 7½ - 8 minute mark. Memory has been known to lie to me before, so I'm not sure about the details on the second one.

Maybe Terry Gale or the So Cal AMC club provided the cars.

Eaglenest member Biller played the killer in an episode of prison wives.  He talked them into  using his Eagle instead of an old Mercury for the killers car. He nor I have gotten to see the episode.

Are those cups accurate for that time period.... Not car related, but I can help it.

For 1985?  They might be, early use of them?

I love Fringe, just haven't been able to watch it in quite a while
