American Motors (AMC)

American Motors Corporation (AMC) was an innovative American automobile company that played a significant role in the automotive industry from 1954 until its acquisition by Chrysler in 1987. Formed through the merger of Nash-Kelvinator Corporation and Hudson Motor Car Company, AMC was known for its focus on compact cars, introducing models that would later become classics. The company aimed to compete directly with the Big Three automakers by emphasizing efficiency, innovation, and unique designs. AMC's most notable contributions include the development of the Jeep brand, which became synonymous with rugged off-road capability, and the creation of iconic models like the AMC Pacer and AMC Gremlin. These vehicles embodied AMC's approach to offering distinctive alternatives to the more traditional offerings of its competitors.
