When we talk about AMC, oftentimes we just think about a failed company. The truth is though that they simply decided that we’re going to build cars better even if it meant smaller profits. Because of that, they were ranked the best-engineered cars for two straight years, from 1969 to 1970. Most folks remember the Javelin. That’s exactly why it’s not mentioned much. It still deserves credit though because while AMC went after the Corvette with the AMX, it didn’t stop there. It decided that the Mustang shouldn’t be safe either and sent the Javelin over to do battle. It often won too.
