Re: AMC had there Super car too ( I guess )
Very true! AMC did have a horrible reputation for poor quality interior materials used.
I owned many 68 thru '70 AMX's and Javelin SST's. The headliners would separate, the vinyl from the foam backing, earlier headliners in '68 models would warp and shrink pulling away from edges. The vinyl dashes would peel up, the door armrests would peel and separate from their ABS plastic housing. The carpet knap would disintegrate due to heat and sun. The leather seat facings would dry out, pulling the thread stitching apart, causing the vinyl piping to go out of shape. Plastic seat shells and lower surround plastic side shells easily broke, because of poor engineering of the support mounts. It is endless!
I probably owned 12 1970 AMX's and 6 1970 Javelins. You could count on the same problems with every car!!!!!
