And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The AMC Pacer. A nightmare to work on as under the hood was an agglomeration of Plymouth, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and whoknowswherethefuckthiscamefrom parts.
A friend in college had a Pacer. It actually had great room inside. The visibility was excellent, as others have noted. The use of other parts? GM steering gear and starters were pretty good components, as were Chrysler Torqueflite transmissions. AMC owned Jeep at this time, explaining shared parts there. As to the looks? A Lancia Stratos is gorgeous, but a right royal pain to enter/leave.
these special AMC Pacers were used by Southwest sales staff to call on customers in the 1970s, they also had Gremlins. For two more press photos, one with both Pacers and Gremlins, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/09/oh-good-heavens.html
Notice the passenger side door is 3 inches longer than the driver side door? Allegedly it was to make backseat access slightly easier from the curb side.
Gremlins in the system.
ReplyDeleteno, Pacer, but, they used Gremlins too.
DeleteThose JT-8s are loud!! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteFamily had a Pacer, my Mom loved it. Short lady, no problems seeing out of the Pacer in any direction.

PSA “stewardess’s” uniforms were the best as were their crews. Fun times!
DeleteNo passenger side mirror, no blind spots.
