In this episode I provide the history of the Eagle from American Motors Corporation (AMC), a car that is widely considered the first crossover vehicle, being a car that had been raised to accommodate part-time 4-wheel -drive, the first ever for a mass-production vehicle. Although it debuted with decent sales in 1980, the public never totally caught on as the concept was well before its time. In a few short years its sales would dwindle and eventually be the last car sold by AMC before Chrysler bought out AMC in 1988.

If you used to own a car from the 80s to mid-2000's that you rarely see today, and would like it featured in a future episode, leave a comment and I may decide to try it. Or you can email me at [email protected].
