After a 45 year search for my bucket list car,I found it. Exactly as I envisioned. I worked in the AMC Styling studios on this car. I did the outside mirrors and wheels.
 This  exact model of the car was there, used as a reference vehicle. 1983 Eagle Wagon Limited. 19k miles, a 9 out of 10.Fully optioned, sport wheels and Copper Brown color. Checks every box for me.

Welcome! Beautiful car. I have an 84 4dr Sedan. 1st question for you: Why were there 2 different styles of the wheels on your car? Difference was very slight, the black band in the "spoke". Again, welcome to the group. gz

Love the color! I have a Limited wagon with no wood panel too. Is yours lowered? Looks pretty slick
