No one wore seat belts back then. Seat belts were confining and they made it hard to smoke, drink beer and, adjust your radio as you were driving along at 90 mph. Today all of these driving habits are considered unsafe and even illegal. A lot of dead rock stars and the dead teenagers that idolized the rockers would agree that the above driving habits are dangerous.

I remember the model well, as ours was as AMC family, and I learned to defend the make, whether they deserved it or not. Odd that the 74 Matador coupe, which you had, was so attractive, but the sedan version of the same car, goes down in my book as one of the ugliest cars of all time.
ReplyDeleteJust got done posting my recollections of the make, so I'm cruising around to see what else has been posted about them.
