Looks like a good time, some great cars there! “The Machine” is one of my favorite AMC’s!

1950 Nash Rambler is crazy wild.

Lots of great pics ! All the great Ramblers and a few ****** Jeeps. Thank you for all the pics.

I nearly bought a little Metropolitan for $2500. The guy drove it to the Street Machine Nationals two years ago.

Wow! For a sedate car company they certainly had a some outlandish stuff!
The show seems to be very inclusive. Tons of four doors, wagons, Customs, race, cars… Something for everyone.
great pics. Thanks for sharing!

I caught that maroon Matador at Carlisle this spring.
I thought it was a pretty amazing Survivor.

I always like AMC's, a unique underdog. There was multiple Javelins in a village near me. One ended up with Ford power. The AMC V8 heads were one of the best heads from that time. Probably the biggest downside is Ford carbs and ignition they used. The 71 and up had the pretty reliable Chrysler Torqueflite with a unique AMC pattern.

This certainly sheds new light on AMC for most of us. I love those 1970 Rebel Machines. Good looking and fast.

AMC made some pretty obvious attempts at performance cars back in the late 60's The Scrambler Rambler, AMX with 401, and the 340, dual quad Javelins. Wally Booth and "The Dragon Lady" Shirley Shahan from Colorado were a couple names.

AMC had some pretty serious aspirations. I saw one of the six AMX/3's at a show in Mundelein 8 years ago...

Looks like a big turnout at a great venue. The pictures you posted of this car are pretty sick :
