This book offers an in-depth look at the history of the American Motors Corporation (AMC), an independent automaker that attempted to compete with Detroit's "Big Three." The authors thoroughly examine the period from 1954 to 1988, covering all models produced by the company. The book analyzes AMC's ups and downs, from the success of economical Rambler cars to the challenges of competing with Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors in an era of growing popularity of luxury and sports models.
Particular attention is paid to the period of the 1970s fuel crisis, when AMC's small cars once again became in demand, as well as the acquisition of the Jeep brand. The collaboration with Renault and the release of the all-wheel-drive Eagle, which, however, could not save the company from being acquired by Chrysler Corporation in 1987, are also considered. The book covers not only the model range but also AMC's participation in motorsport, providing a complete picture of the company's activities.
