AMC Eagle

from Jonathan Welsh: All of my car-crazed friends in middle school wanted their parents to buy the American Motors Eagle when it arrived for the 1980 model year. And why not? There was nothing else quite like it on the market. It also made competing family cars like the Ford Fairmont and Chevy Citation look hopelessly scrawny. Who would have thought almost everyone would be driving similar-looking "crossovers" a few decades later? The Eagle lasted until 1988. This one looks like an '86 or '87.
AL: another Eagle, a while back, in Mar Vista (LA). And another in Manchester NH.
