A compact car made by
AMC from 1975-1980. Known for being the first small WIDE car, and it's bizarre styling. A wagon version was offered in 1977, but didn't do much to spur sales.
The Pacer is probably
AMC's last attempt at creating a whole new car, before they gave up to concentrate on Jeeps and the AMC Eagles.
The AMC Pacer was considered some what of a geek mobile during
the 70's and
80's, but it was a tough reliable little car with unique
styling.
