There's also one in there when they fill up at the gas station. Clark rips the license plate off his wagon after seeing the fuel fill on the AMC and his license plate ends up hitting the Eagle if I remember right.

The TV show "JUstified" has some kind of half-goofy policeman that drives a Gremlin.

My wife watches this cheesy show called Once Upon a Time...I was suffering through an episode she had recorded with her on the couch last night when I spotted a nice looking Concord sedan...I snatched the remote and paused it as she angrily waited for me to find a camera to take a piclure  ;D

Funny.  Sounds like something that would happen in my house.  I bet the wife accused you of being half crazy too.  I know mine would had.  Good catch.

Lately most of the aamco transmission commercials running in the Jersey area have a yellow pacer on the lift.

Mine would probably beat me to the punch. She's gotten better than I have at spotting AMC's.

 A Javelin is featured in the latest Wallpaper video "Good 4 It"
 And it's featured in a major way, worth a look. :amc:

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
