AMC Hornets and derivatives

John Quilter · 2024-03-11T17:58:38Z

AMC produced the Hornet compact from 1970 to 1977. It later became the four wheel drive Eagle which was available as sedans and station wagons. A quite innovative by AMC. Then through an associated company in Mexico known as VAN Lerma a different version of the Hornet station wagon with two wheel drive was launched. Note the subtle difference to the rear tailgate which was a steeper rake to the hatchback compared to the US version. In the US, AMC also made a sporty coupe which was also a hatchback car. This model is one from a James Bond movie. Interestingly Hornets were made under license in South Africa by Toyota and in Australia and by Vehículos Automotores Mexicanos (VAM) in Mexico which is where the slightly different station wagon was made. The US sedans and coupe. The four door being a modification of the two door partworks item. The Eagle USA wagon and Mexican variation in silver. The full set. Does anyone make a Gremlin?
