Title: Ennui #419 - Mock-Up of a Proposed AMC Ambassador Re-skin
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 02, 2013, 04:43:18 AM

For one point: What automobile was this mock-up intended to represent?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Not a Javelin, but you're not too far off.

Sorry Otto, I only do this for a bit of fun.

It looks like you have cropped , disguised and manipulated the original image a fair bit, so for all I know it could be an 1969 AMC Ambassador design study.

It is a mock-up for an Ambassador, but is said to be from the early 1970's.
