Was watching  the 1974 movie Earthquake and there is a 1969 Rebel, sandy brown color, driving in to a parking ramp ahead of Charleton Heston.  Also, later in the movie, there is a 1974 Sportabout, white Hornet, that is down in the parking ramp where people are trapped and they are rescued.  The people climb on top of the Hornet's hood to get out.

Let me try again. Seems like every time I try to do this I mess something up & then can't find it again. Don't remember if this was already posted by somebody else or not. If so, I apologize. Married with Children there's a couple episodes. One is when they decide to go on vacation & get stuck in traffic. What looks to me to be an Eagle sedan is behind him ( dark brown ) . Shown a couple times. Then another episode ( I think, been a few weeks since I watched it ) the one where Buck ( the dog ) gets a girl friend & she gets him kicked out. Same car passing by the alley.

Dude you are preaching to a choir member that is close to becoming an AMC Minister if you know what I mean.

Just saw a radio shack ad for cell phones. Two Eagles ( Bald Eagles, that is ) sitting in trees talking to each other on their phones.

In the opening scene of Lethal Weapon 2 there's a 4-door Eagle sedan in traffic

Outside the drive-in restaurant in The Great Outdoors there's an Eagle wagon parked in the opposite lot.

I've got that movie, watched it like 40 times or more and I don't remember the cars.  Is it during the part when the cartoon hammer smashes the glass, and those guys are robbing the store, then the policemen come and take them away, and you see the old ladies start stealing as soon as the policemen back's are turned?

That's the only place I can think of in the movie where policemen show up...

I think he does...

And not sure if this one was mentioned, but the HBO series about vampires living in a modern society amongst us in the open... it's called "Trueblood". I do not recomend this series for any youngins as it shows EVERYthing... it's HBO.. but anyways, there's a chick that drives a SUPER nice Gremlin throughout at least the first season.

I tried finding a picture of it, but no luck. :/
Its got style... its got class...
It goes the extra mile... and still kicks @ss.

Maybe someone with better eyes than me can spot some. Have been watching Dragnet on hula hoop or whatever it's called. Lots of FORDS, Mopars, & garbage. No AMCs in my eyes.
