Okay it’s only a concept, built at 3/4 size, but just look
at it. It’s just everything about the 70’s at on 4 wheels. Oh and those wheels
all driven, add in the mix those “Turbo” stickers, porthole windows and “Vanning”
paint job and strips. It’s obvious what market AMC were after, young with
disposable income. As you’ll guess it didn’t get past this concept, after all
in 1977 with its more rounded shape it was already dated in the age of the
wedge.
Like many manufacturers in the US in the late 60’s, AMC took
on the challenge by the Government to develop electric vehicles. AMC though
really put some resources and effort in to it, the result was the
Amitron which was debuted as a concept
in 1967.
