this is a car from my childhood memory. i've had the image of the amc eagle wagon in my head for several months now... but until today, i hadn't been able to track it down. i initially remembered the car being experimental, suv-like and high off of the ground... and i thought it was called a concord. i was close. amc made a concord from 1978 until the mid 80's... and the eagle was part of the same concord line.
the amc eagle was made around the same time, and based somewhat on concord design factors. these things seems to have vanished... but i remember being impressed by their size and bold design at the time. in the early 80's, folks probably would have seen the eagle as a hybrid of designs, similar to the delorean, subaru, and ford sedans of the time. more info at www.amceaglenest.com
according to historical info, the sedan was often seen as being over-the -top and somewhat silly... having been designed as a car w/ 4x4 capabilities. 25 years later, many of the features are now seen as having been ahead of their time.
